The carvings are painted in so that they are easily visible.
Note the stone fence. These are piled up everywhere.

Looking out to the sea, and toward the lighthouse.
Well, I really need to get caught up with our blog. Here it is September, and I haven't finished putting up photos from our trip to Kristiansand in July. Summer is definitely over here, so I will try to move along and get the rest of the July photos up this week (otherwise Rebecca will have my head! :-).
~~~~~~~~~~The same day we went to Lista Fyr, Odd and Karen-Mai took us to two other nearby sights, one with Bronze Age (ca. 1700-500 BC in Scandinavia)"drawings"--they are carvings in rock showing Viking-style (at least to my eyes--this probably predates Viking culture--?) boats and round shapes, signifying ... well I don't know what they signify, but anyway. You can see in a couple of the photos the sea in the distance. Odd said the rocks with the carvings were thought to have been next to the sea when they were drawn, the land having risen as the glaciers melted.
The other place we went to was Nordberg Fort, which the Germans built during WWII. Now there is a museum, and we walked through the earthworks that were put in place at the time and took some photos of the view out to sea.
