Norge!

I stepped onto the train in Malmö with the intention to end up in Oslo, but decided to stop in Varberg, halfway up on the west-coast of Sweden, to visit some childhood friends. I stayed there for four days before continuing to Oslo, where family and friends live.

Oslo, The Tiger City, a small city, has managed to keep its old charm even though modern buildings make up its skyline.

Skriet…

Gustav Vigeland Park… Gustav dedicated much of his life, creating 212 unique sculptures. It’s the world’s largest sculpture park created by a single artist.

The sculptures are made from materials including bronze, granite, and wrought iron.

Oslo is called Tiger Staden… the name originated from a poem by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson in 1870, where the tiger symbolized the dangerous and cold city, while a horse represented the safe countryside.
