Sorry, Don, they say the camera never lies, but yours seems to have done. 
The name of the Danish "village" is MIDDELFART. In 1973 it had 16 250 
inhabitants. I haven't got a Danish dictionary, and Danish does differ from 
Norwegian a little. As far as I can tell, FART means in the above context 
LANE as in shipping lane, and the town got its name from the fact that it 
was an intermediate landing place in a ferry lane.

In Norwegian FART means SPEED, and SMELL means BANG!, and there's this 
(in)famous story about the Norwegian who witnessed a traffic accident in 
England and explained to the police "the two cars came with a great fart and 
then there was a big smell".
