NORGE - FALL 2010

Finally, i had the chance last week to spend my holidays in Norway. A land that i have so much read, heard and listened about all those years. What to say really? Norway is a country of an incredible beauty. Nice landscapes, great weather and the mark of Nordic identity almost everywere (At least to the places i visited). Oslo was really good and not so bad as i expected it ( I had in my mind something like Copenhagen or Stockholm). Nice museums and some really good places to visit there. Though i`m glad that i spend a lot of time in the countryside, walking amongst hills and woods and gathering around bonfires. Every moment out there was like having in front of me a Kittelsen`s painting. Now i understand fully, this man captured the soul of this country in his works. Below is few pictures of this journey.

Gathering around the fire. Eihwaz (Disiplin) on the left and Me on the right.


Somewhere in the centre of Oslo


Oslo centre. I think thats the parliament. Nice bulding but for useless works(as in every european country)


Oslo centre. Outside the entrance of the National Museum/Gallery of Art


From the first view, a familiar place from the Varg Vikernes trial. The courthouse.
