Nesje Standing Stones
Nesje Standing Stones submitted by kenntha88 : The tallest stone seen with the farm in the background. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This site consists of two pretty standing stones that once were a part of a larger burial cemetery from the iron age. Several mounds and more standing stones have been removed or erased by later farmwork, but at least the two standing stones seen here were saved.

The two stones stand on each side of a narrow country road leading from the farm further up from the ocean.

They are both easily visible from a distance as there are mostly grain fields and grasslands around. The area has a beautiful view to the south across the fjord and the mountains surrounding Romsdal valley and the islands around.

The smaller stone is about 1,5 metres tall, about 20-30cm wide and has a rounded cross section with a flat top.

The taller stone is about 2,5 metres in height, long and slender in shape and with a pointed top. Both of the stones tilt a little towards each other. They are both made of a very light colored stone material and appear almost white.
