Røros is a former mining town in Central Norway, located in a mountain area not far from the border to Sweden. The old town has maintained much of its original character, including a street plan dating from the 17th century, and timber houses from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The only reason for founding a town in this place was the fact copper was discovered in the area, and Røros Copper Mining Company was established in 1644. The company was operative for 333 years, until closure in 1977.

Røros has been on the UN World Heritage List since 1980, and today the place is more or less a living museum. In 2006 the municipality of Røros had 5632 inhabitants, and most of them are living in or near the town centre.

I’d like to add that Røros is one of the coldest places in Norway during winter with a record low of -50,4°C, but that was back in 1914..!

Well done

Buenos día Pablo.
Hoy me he levantado algo temprano y me he puesto a visitar a los amigos en TL!
Precioso este rincón con una calidad de imagen siempre insuperable.
Perfecta iluminación y contrastes.
Saludos amigo, JL.

PS. Una nota muy interesante

Hi Pablo,

Those timber houses really give a warm and inviting feel to cities like this. I'm so glad it's on the World Heritage List, then it will be preserved.
When in Norway I love the roofing we see on the house in the FG. In the Netherlands we have some projects where they use it in environmentally friendly building methods and I must say that it looks very attractive.
TFS this wonderful Norwegian composition.

I like the angled, linear perspective, of the row of houses, & the strong compositional diagonal, which adds dynamism. Good colour & sharpness, too. Tfs!

Impressed by this photo Pablo.. and story
I like to see how neat the housing is done.. the wooden beams/logs fit so nice exactly together..looks a strong solid construction..( talking about the first house) The low wooden wall on left gives it the touch of old English country roads.. Yes I think Norway is a contry to vissit for sure.
Good shot..

John

Hello Pablo
I went on the Web this morning to learn more about Roros.
This line up of houses dating of the copper mines era, inspired by Danemark style and (some)covered of a vegetal roof is in fact a strong testimony of prosperous years.
Some day I'll find why they painted only a few of these as a restoration work.
Stones at foreground balance well the dark mass across the street.
Cheers.
