Oslo – with friends

The palace
he looks like Danny Kaye
city hall, today with Iranians demonstrating
black headed sea gull , smaller than the gray one
the workers of Norway memorialized…blindly?
the aftermath of the fire while we were there
pronounced “Monk”, statue at the Law School of the University
the law school
maybe you have heard of Bird Rock in Monterey, California, known for the white color and the smell. These seagulls are turning this guy into bird statue
This is the HQ of Mr. Thon who is the owner of the Thon hotel group, a very wealthy and unassuming man
busy Oslo station
Sauna houses you can rent to motor out further and back. jump in the ocean and then into the sauna you go.
this is “art”. I thought it was left over building garbage from construction of the building below. Not the case.
the opera house
Oslo city beach
the Scots were in town playing soccer against another team, probably Norway

Austin Healey Club visiting Norway?

what is going on? While traveling around by car we visit a small town and find about 50 Austin Healeys parked and driving around. Then as we drive around Norway we see them driving all over the place. The average driver age is probably about 60. In total I think we saw 100 Austin Healeys and a few other classic cars. When I was in fourth grade I had a crush on my homeroom teacher just because she drove an Austin Healey from San Francisco to our school every day.

Glaciers and Snow – Norway

This glacier used to reach the bottom of this part of the mountain but not anymore.
A small river running underneath snow and ice
the higher lakes are melting
hard to believe all the water coming through the waterfalls
These cruise ships go up and down the coast into the fjords and let customers off in small towns. These fjords can get up to a 600 m depth
