Bygdøy

Ocean salt and wet and deep
As of many eyes that weep
Everyone's alone

(From Berceuse by André Bjerke)

Picture taken at Bygdøy, a very popular area in the summer. People go here to swim and sunbathe. I prefer it in the autumn when it's more quiet.

Be a king...

A new campaign in Oslo to make people use the litter boxes all over town. They call the campaign "Pimp our city" and I'm probably too old, because I don't like the name at all. I guess it's directed mostly at younger people, and the video tells you that you're "king" if you throw things in the litter box and not outside of it.

Closed for the winter

... and nothing on the menu.

From Bygdøy in Oslo. This little shop is probably only open during summer time, when lots of people visit Bygdøy to sunbathe and swim in the fjord.

Interferens - a memorial

This is from Bygdøy in Oslo, where this piece of art called "Interferens" is placed there as a memorial for all the tsunami victims in December 2004.

The sculpture is made by John Audun Hauge in 2007 after a competition on behalf of the Norwegian government.

Grafitti

From the metro in Oslo: An advert - and a comment. The advert says "You are 5 questions away from 10 millions!" and the comment beneath says "We fill the city with crappy ads. Hooray for us in JCDecaux!" (JCDecaux is an advertising company.)
