    Hiking

    Not far from Haraldshaugen, there is a work of art in a small cove. Four strange-looking horses, with various people on their backs, stand half-submerged.

    The artist Jason DeCaires Taylor explains his work as follows: "The four hybrid sculptures merge oil drilling machinery with the equine form, referencing the now-retired workhorse. At the same time, they draw attention to our continued dependence on fossil fuels and the potentially apocalyptic consequences of climate change. The sculptures ask: Who is in charge? Where are we going?" "The Rising Tide" was originally on display in the River Thames in London.

    Beautiful art installation, but unfortunately currently surrounded by construction fences.

    No more construction fences. No entry fee, and free parking.
