This is the last site I will upload in 2014 and also the last pictures from my summer trip in 2014, so why not end the upload with the most beautiful standing stone I have seen so far! The stone is located in a private garden just next to the Mosterøyvegen road and just a few metres from a small stone fence surrounding some private houses.
The stone is really beautiful! It is around 6 metres in height, around 1 metre wide at the base and around 20cm thick. The top narrows at the top and ends in a sharp point almost like a Gothic arc. The stone does not seem to have any damage and is standing straight. At the base are a few garden plants. The stone is visible from a long distance away!
