Sandviken
Between 'Hegreneset' and 'Skuteviken' lies a series of old boathouses and storehouses. These were originally used to store merchandise, primarily dried fish. The oldest houses in 'Sandviken' are dated to the middle of the 1600s. Like many other locations in Bergen it has been possible to buy fish directly for fishermen, a popular activity even today.
This painting is based on 'Sandviken', but do not represent a specific place or location.

Tollebussen
The very first bus route in Bergen was established in the 1890s with departure every 20 minutes between 'Rådstuplassen' and 'Tollbodallmenningen'. It was later given the nickname 'Tollebussen'. This painting is based on a photography by Olaf Andreas Svanøe, ca. 1890.

Torgallmenningen
'Torgallmenningen' stretches from the Town Square in the northeast, to 'Olav Vs plass' in the southwest. Even though Bergen is a small city compared to most European cities, the town square is worthy of that of a large city; almost 500 metres long.
This area got destroyed during the great fire of 1916. This lead to a design contest where architects and artists had to determine how the future town square should look like. The winner of the competition was Finn Berner (1892-1947). He completed his degree in architecture at the now Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Berner created the town square in the style of neoclassisism, recognized by its simplicity and smooth facades.
In the 1700s you couldfind Bergen's main pillory here, where criminals were tied and publicly punished by flagellation. Today it is replaced by a maritime monument to honor Norwegian seafarers and maritime activity. The monument consists of square rock configured in a pyramide-like formation surrounded by 12 life size sculptures and a pool.

Fisketorget
The fish market in Bergen has been an important meeting place for merchants, fishermen and the people of Bergen. The word 'Fisketorget' was first mentioned in the City Law of 1276 and was an open area where people could come to buy fresh seafood or just hang out.
The market has many small tents where you can buy fish, seafood, and souvenirs. At the left hand side of the painting, you can see 'Zachariasbryggen' in white, while parts of 'Bryggen' and 'Kjøttbasaren are' visible in the background. This painting is based on the fish market the way it looked in 2012.
