<\/a> The legend of the seven sisters 125x125cm<\/em><\/p>\n This picture is hanging in the smokers lounge. Can you see the faces?<\/p>\n The pictures in the gallery below are in the main lounge. Inspired by the ships name: Skandi Seven, I made a series of pictures showing some of the worlds greatest wonders. From the original seven wonders, only the Kheops pyramid still exists. The worlds seven NEW wonders were presented through a worldwide, web-based competition last fall. Three of the winners are located in South America, and I haven\u00b4t seen them. But I have seen three of the other finalists: The great wall of China, Colosseum in rome, Italy, and Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Among the semi-finalists were Hagia sophia in Istanbul and the Eiffel-tower in Paris. The same web-site has also lanched a competition for the seven natural wonders of the world (the result will be published next fall I think, and anyone can vote), and here the Grand canyon is a strong candidate.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.new7wonders.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Since I use my own photographs as a base for my artwork, I have picked from all of these three lists, and made my own version. These are seven of the world-wonders I have seen and experienced. I feel very fortunate!<\/p>\n And here you can see the pictures on the wall.<\/p>\n Isn\u00b4t the floor and ceiling beautiful?!<\/p>\n These are the pictures in the mess. A series of all seven bridges in Austevoll County, where DOFs head-office is based. I actually photographed these when the head of purchase took me out in his father-in-laws boat. I had asked if he could arrange a boat for me, so I could take pictures from the sea-side. I didn\u00b4t think he\u00b4d take me himself! But it was an amazingly beautiful day, and he didn\u00b4t mind getting out of the office.<\/p>\n The first conference room is decorated by these two pictures from a very old wooden ship I found outside Storeb\u00f8 in Austevoll.<\/p>\n In the smaller conference-room, you\u00b4ll find these three pictures.<\/p>\n This tower is outside S\u00f8viknes, where the ship was being built. The original photo is taken at midnight, and shows how light the midsummer-nights are in Norway.<\/p>\n In the sky-lounge on the very top, you\u00b4ll find a narrow textile picture called \u201cThe seven samurais\u201d. Originally the picture was about half a meter longer, but when I arrived to the ship, there was a small box added from top to bottom all along the the wall. Luckily I had a scissors, needle and thread with me, and could alter the picture on site! My Mom was with me when I was decorating this ship. It\u00b4s a long travel, and she\u00b4s good company on the trip!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/theledgendofthe7sisters.jpg\" "\\"theledgendofthe7sisters\\"")
