| Keywords: Valley in Heliesund (JW Edy plate 08).jpg Artwork Creator John William Edy en Valley in Heliesund No VIII VIEW FROM A VALLEY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HELIESUND This small undulating spot is enclosed with rocks on three of its sides; having gentle rills of water meandering through it where the snipe and woodcock breed A disruption of the rocks has nearly closed the entrance Similar casualties in some parts of Norway have buried in an instant houses and families The dilation of the strata by frosts loosens the stones; which in their fall carry every thing with them and form a vast heap of rubbish at the bottom At the extremity of the valley is a landing-place constructed of timber and at a little distance are rocky islands beyond which the main land is seen In front is a majestic rock of granite seated on an inclined plane apparently ready to glide into the ocean This spot being well sheltered from the bleak winds is the chosen retreat of a colony of wild bees; their nests are suspended from the branch of the pine or hawthorn in the form of a pine apple and of a lead colour The bees are small and their honey uncommonly good They collect their sweets from a few flowers the wild thyme and other odoriferous herbs and plants from the river's bank to the mountain's top with great care and industry Collapse bottom http //urn nb no/URN NBN no-nb_digibok_2011072910001 Boydell's picturesque scenery of Norway London 1820 Plate no 8 p 89 in scanned copy no-nb_digibok_2011072910001 PD-Art-100 John William Edy Boydell's picturesque scenery of Norway Søgne | ||||
