Bodø Standing Stone
Bodø Standing Stone submitted by kenntha88 : (Vote or comment on this photo)
This standing stone located inside the garden of the Nordland Bodø museum was originally located on Hernes further to the southwest. Bodø airport is located there today, when the airport was built, the stone was removed and relocated to the museum garden.

The stone is about 2.5 metres in height, about 30-40cm wide, and has a very pretty rounded top.

At the original site was a total of 5 standing stones, but they were all removed to the museum in 1951.

The museum garden is a beautiful site with neatly cut grass and some large pine trees and some flower bushes.
