Oslo pictures
Pictures and notes from the Oslo part of my trip.
But you only read this blog for the articles, so you won't be clicking on the hyperlink below, will you?
Ok, looks like you did.
Do not feed the troll. He's not hungry. Holmenkollen ski jump and museum, Oslo.
Just to the left of the blue picture, a pair of skis, one ski short and with fur underneath to provide push, the other ski long for gliding. Holmenkollen ski jump and museum.
Ski poles featuring weapons or kitchen utensils. Holmenkollen ski jump and museum.
There must be a rational reason for this building being where it is. Photo taken from Holmenkollen ski jump.
No, I can't see my house from here. But if I lived in Oslo, I might be able to. Photo taken from Holmenkollen ski jump.
I'd like to say I abseiled down this. A private group did so. Holmenkollen ski jump.
It doesn't look that scary from this angle.
Or this angle.
Hey, that's nice. It slopes up at the end.
This angle looks benign too.
Now this photo gives a good reckoning of the ski jump. Holmenkollen ski jump.
National Theatre, Oslo. At least I think it is. It's a fancy building near the National Theatre subway station. A google image search for Oslo National Theatre found another photographer of the same opinion.
Clothing display, probably within Oslo town hall.
Oslo town hall clock. As well as being able to tell the time, it can indicate the current zodiac sign and apparently the current phase of the moon.
Me ice-skating in Oslo.
Oslo traffic light. Scandinavians are very law-abiding people, so in order to send out a firm message on jay-walking, they have two red non-walking pedestrian figures. Between Grefsen station and Haraldsheim YHA.
Oslo pedestrian crossing sign. Dig the hat and the walking style, man.
Rattus Norvegicus, I presume? Googling suggests the rat actually originated in Northern China, and also has the name of wharf rat. Maybe it got the name from Norway's history as a shipping nation. Between Grefsen station and Haraldsheim YHA.
Photo taken from train going from Oslo central to the airport.
Photo taken during flight from Oslo to Copenhagen.
Another photo taken during the flight. Has anyone seen lines in the snow like this? If so, what are they?
