Oslo


 We spent the final night of our trip in the Comfort Hotel Express Central Station in a balcony room on the top floor (an excellent budget hotel). This was the view in the morning - clear skies so we decided on a trip to Vigeland Sculpture Park as we had heard so much about it. The unique sculpture park is the life work of the sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron.  Certainly an amazing location though I found some of the statues (especially those on the bridge) quite disturbing.  I have chosen some from the granite Monolith platform and from the bronze Wheel of Life.

Oslo Opera House and Harbour

We got the train into Oslo on Monday evening to shoot the final light of the day in the harbour.Very impressive building and waterfront though there are a lot of building works going on at the moment.
