Our visit to Oslo was such a pleasure, though it wasn’t long enough. The city is so rich with history; it was hard to take it all in during such a short period of time. While Matt was conferencing in the northern mountains of Norway, I wandered the streets of Oslo, visiting museums (National Gallery and the Munch Museum), Vigeland Sculpture Park, residential areas, Karl Johans Gate (which was full of twinkle lights….. my favorite ;)). It’s absolutely a brilliant city and I hope to make it back there. When I got home, I realized that I hadn’t taken nearly as many photos as I’d hoped, but here are some impressions from the trip. Enjoy!
Boats, resting for the winter, Aker Brygge
Mom & baby seals, Aker Brygge
A lovely silver display at a floral shop
Rose gardens, covered in winter, Vigeland Statue Park

Thank you Kary! I just discovered the joys of photoshop :). We're not snowed in; I don't think we're supposed to get hit with the storm... but we are staying in... your meal sounds delicious! Have a good night!!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty photos!! Looks like a wonderful trip :)
ReplyDeleteBlair- I just love the stark bare trees against the grey wintery skies. Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteBlair, just lovely! I especially loved the calm, peaceful statues. I went to Norway once, we were there in August for the midnight sun which was amazing. Beautiful country. Looks like you had a fantastic trip. And the new header is GREAT - I must find out about Photoshop, it makes all the difference. With love, Rachel xox
ReplyDeleteThose statues are what struck me. So emotional. So abstract.
ReplyDeleteI also love the bright yellow house, although I would never be so brave!
Thanks for sharing!
