Inside the Laerdal-tunnel

Florian · Oct 3, 2006

In Norway, we drove through the wold largest car tunnel, the Laerdal-tunnel. It's 24,5 km long!!! Psychologists developed a way to break the monotony of such a long tunnel. Of course there are a lot of bends in the road, but the clues are three caves, which are at km 6, 12 and 18. They are lighted with blue and green light and from far away it loocks like the tunnel would end there. As we drove through it, we stopped in the second cave and I took some fotos, which I want to show you.

I really like the abstract feel to these. That lighting is really cool. Thanks for sharing these

These tunnel caves are among the most interesting things I have ever heard about - and when you told us about them first, Florian, I could not quite imagine what the caves would look like.
But your photos make it very obvious.
You made good use of the Powershot AND "The Weapon" for these!!!!!

I think these are excellent photos,they have a horror film feel to them.How do they make the walls light up blue like that?

Sorry, Chris, Florian was out all day yesterday for his sports and is back to school now ... the lights were produced by those blue lights (which appear to be white here) that light the rock just like that to give car drivers who are about to get all fed up with going through a neverending tunnel the feeling that the sky is in sight soon
