Herlige Dale, Sandnes Live Cam

A small harbour at Dale, on the eastern shore of the Gandsfjord in Sandnes municipality in Norway, lies below this webcam. A fishing boat lies at the jetty below a rock face, and a mown lawn with a bench runs down to the water.

Dale is best known for the psychiatric hospital opened here in 1911, whose buildings stand back from the shore among the trees. The fjord is narrow at this point, with forest and bare rock on both sides and farmland on the slopes above.

The overlay carries the current weather for Sandnes and a caption from the operator, who rents out cabins on the site. Daylight swings hard through the year at this latitude: dark by mid-afternoon in December, light almost around the clock in June.
