The Grass Roofs of Norway
Norwegians have their own way of going green, and quite literally.
For hundreds of years houses in Norway have been covered with turf.
And they come in different varieties.
Some are bright green and almost velvety.
Others are golden and look like theyre growing wheat or oats.
A number of turf roofs have flowers mixed in with the grass, and a few have small trees.
Given enough time, a sturdy, living bridge is produced.
Some of these root bridges are over 100 feet long and over 500 years old.
