@caitlinrgreen have you seen the Andrew Graham Dixon Scandinavian Art documentary on BBC?
@notnelgmit I've not, I'm afraid---worth a look??
@caitlinrgreen first episode worth a look as covers early medieval period. Some nice shots of a stave church.
@notnelgmit Excellent! I'll make a note to have a look! :)
@caitlinrgreen I'm fast running out of superlatives for these structures :-)
@JohnNewsham1 Hah! They are incredible---a perfect mix of form, decoration and landscape! :)
@caitlinrgreen that's so beautiful, like something from a Grimm fairy tale
@TheShanTiger Absolutely! So atmospheric :)
@caitlinrgreen my favourite stave church! It is like pocket size and cute! @karenandmimipic.twitter.com/8mIpA5QTs2
@caitlinrgreen Astonishing, I've never seen anything like that..!
@caitlinrgreen @EvansianIWhat a magnificent wooden beast. Imagine some of these other-worldlies dotted around England.
@caitlinrgreen @lambandflag99 Thanks for reviving happy memories of a holiday there a few years ago
.
@caitlinrgreen @EquineAnn Some things are just meant to stand the test of time.
@susan62brown @caitlinrgreen It definitely looks that way, fortunately.
@caitlinrgreen magnificent building, thanks Caitlin for this photo.
