Full moon Friday 🌕

Very interesting! I live in Belgium and one of the capitals of a province ('Hainaut') is Bergen -> This is Dutch. But the city is in the French-speaking area and there they call the city 'Mons'. Both 'bergen' and 'mons' means 'mountains'. Does the name Bergen in Norway also have something to do with mountains?

    yes, it does. Bergen was called Bjørgvin in 1070 and it means; the green meadow between the mountains.
    And today Bergen is known as the city between the 7 mountains;
    Lyderhorn.
    Damsgårdsfjellet.
    Løvstakken.
    Ulriken.
    Rundemanen.
    Fløyfjellet.
    Sandviksfjellet.

    Løvstakken is my favorite mountain, has the best view of it all. This photo is taken from Ulriken with the view over the city towards Løvstakken with snow cover on the top.
