View of Oslo

The 28th day, and my final stage I wandered around Oslo mainly visiting musea like Vikingskipshuset, Frammuseum and Kontiki-museet. All musea were wonderful, the Konitiki somewhat special because it gave an excellent image of Thor Heyerdahl, who more than I expected has been a man with an amazingly humanitarian vision, something we miss dearly in many of our stupid politicians, the last disaster from America fresh in mind.

This picture reminds me in a way of Johannes Vermeers View of Delft (gezicht op Delft). Light, clouds, part of an old cityscape, but this picture can not stand in the shadow of Vermeers brilliant painting.

Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.

Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.

Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- Trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
