Rural life in the southern region of Norway in the early 20th century(picture heavy)
Southern Norway is made up of three major regions vestlandet(western land), østlanded(eastern land) and sørlandet(southern land), It took some time getting all of these pictures togheter, so I hope you will enjoy it.

Not really that much similiarty in my opinion.
I feel like I have neglected the coastal areas, so here are some more pictures
Sami people in southern parts of Norway, in the late 19th century there were some Sami people still left in Hardanger and Telemark wich outside the sami cultural area.

Beautiful pictures!
I had no idea Norwegian peasant houses were so similar to Russian ones! Very similar construction. Though with some differences, of course. But at a glance, I would place them in Russia just as easily as Norway. Great work.
