Kråkenes Lighthouse is a coastal lighthouse in the
municipality of Vågsøy in Sogn og Fjordane - between Ålesund
and Bergen in Norway. It was established in 1906, and automated
in 1986. In 1997 a café opened in the lighthouse - and you can
spent the night in the lighthouse's bridal suite!

Hi
Thanks for your welcome. I like vintage photos too and old postcards, so thats why I liked your blog. People are always so welldressed on old photos and it`s interesting to wonder how they lived.
Take care!
