This picture is dedicated to Lucio (Redrubin), and of course to our new theme of interesting Manhole Covers from all over the world.
This one is from Trondheim, Norway, just next to the church where the crowning ceremonies of Norwegian monarchs take place.

If you want to know more about this church, I searched for some information on Wikipedia:

The Nidaros Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace are located side by side in the middle of the city centre. The cathedral, built from 1070 on, is the most important Gothic monument in Norway and was Northern Europe's most important Christian pilgrimage site during the Middle Ages, with pilgrimage routes from Oslo in southern Norway and from the Jämtland and Värmland regions of Sweden. Today, it is the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world, and the second largest in Scandinavia.

During the Middle Ages, and again after independence was restored in 1814, the Nidaros Cathedral was the coronation church of the Norwegian kings. King Haakon VII was the last monarch to be crowned there, in 1906. Starting with King Olav V in 1957, coronation was replaced by consecration. In 1991, the present King Harald V and Queen Sonja were consecrated in the cathedral. On May 24, 2002, their daughter Princess Märtha Louise married writer Ari Behn in the cathedral.

The pilgrimage route to Nidaros Cathedral, the site of Saint Olav's tomb, has recently been re-instated. In Norwegian, the route is known as Sankt Olavs vei (St. Olav's Way in English). The main route, which is approximately 640 km long, starts in Oslo and heads North, along the lake Mjøsa, up the valley Gudbrandsdalen, over the mountain range Dovrefjell and down the valley Oppdal to end at Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. There is a Pilgrim's Office in Oslo which gives advice to pilgrims, and a Pilgrim Centre in Trondheim, under the aegis of the cathedral, which awards certificates to successful pilgrims upon the completion of their journey.

Seems like a nice theme, Kristof... I'll keep a look-out for man-hole covers ☺^☺.
Technically very good; no distortion whatsoever, nice colours & contrast and terrific sharpness.
Well done, TFS

Hello Kristof,

Just to add to your note, the image on the cover is also the city seal (byvåpen), hehehe!
