Fantoft Stave Church (a medieval wooden Norwegian Stave Church at Fantoft in Bergen, Norway) in winter after snowfall. The image includes details of the roof with two ornate dragon heads and a Christian Cross. The dragon heads served to ward off evil spirits and was used by the vikings as to decorate jewellery, accessories and weapons and placed on the bow of their ships (as well as on the roof of buildings). Every few years the church was, and still is, tarred (painted with a coat of black tar) to protect the wood against the challenging weather/climate conditions including rain, snow, wind and high humidity.
