        Bonus if you explain the history behind the monument.

            The swords can be found at Møllebukta which is a bay area on the southern shore of Hafrsfjord.

            This monument was unveiled by King Olav in 1983 and commemorates the Battle of Hafrsfjord in 872, after which King Harald Fair Hair united the three districts of Norway into one kingdom.The crowns on the swords represent the different districts which took part in the battle. The swords, which are about 10 meters tall, stand for peace and unification. One sword is larger than the others. This was Fairheaded Harald's sword. The swords are planted in solid rock - representing peace.

              Wow! Well done!

              I can add that Hafrsfjord is a fjord by Stavanger, my home town, located in the south-west of Norway

                    I hope everything is well, he's probably just taking his time, flirting with the nurses
