And from the same source, a stereoview from another angle, suggesting it was a popular tourist spot from pretty early on! https://www.loc.gov/item/2021637916/
Thanks Anne . Really nice photos and love the stereograph. It gives a great perspective of the mountain range. Probably many images of this popular place but maybe not on glass plate negatives.
There's quuite a nice early colour photograph of it at the Library of Congress https://www.loc.gov/item/2001699471/
It does look a little different today. But as Rob Whalley puts it, popular with sightseeing cruise trips. This was taken in 2022.
Thanks Alan . Yes some changes but looks like the small interesting white building in the center is still there.
The white building is Geiranger Chuch, it can be seen on Google Maps Streetview along with c. 400 photos.
Brilliant. Thanks
Merok, (Geiranger) at the head of Geirangerfjord, was, and still is, a popular destination for sightseeing cruise trips. Queen Alexandra, the wife of King Edward VII, was a keen amateur photographer, and included a couple of her snaps of Merok in her 'Christmas Gift Book' published for charity in 1908. https://ia800604.us.archive.org/29/items/queenalexandrasc00alex/que... (see pages 63 and 67).
Thanks for the link Rob. Yes I can see this a popular place to visit. Probably thousands of recent photos out there.
Tom Hunter on Twitter has suggested it is Stongfjorden, Norway See: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:View_of_Stongfjorden.jpg
And Tony Richards: Geiranger, Norway https://www.abebooks.co.uk/photographs/Norv%C3%A8ge-Merok-Geiranger...
