| Breakfast in Hotel

|
| What I chose to eat this day from the hotel's buffet breakfast.
|
|
| Vigeland Park
|
|
|
|
|
| I noticed maps in Oslo often have the trees along major paths marked.
| The park has many tree-lined paths like this one.
| It also had lots of grass too. Closer photos of the fountain that's in
the distance appear later in this set.
| Vigeland Park's highest feature: the monolithic statue and the
concentric rings of statues surrounding it.
I took this picture
as my camera's highest resolution to show the feel of the place and many
of the statues surrounding the tower.

|
| A similar shot from the opposite side of the monolith.
| A very-high resolution stitched-together photo of the monolith. Though
worth examination, I don't like it.
| A 360-degree panoramic movie of the park and the statues surrounding the
monolith, as ween by walking around the monolith itself. Provides
distant glimpses of a large statue and the fountain. Also note once
again the tree-lined paths and grassy expanses.
| The view from the monolith's plaza toward the fountain.

"Hey, cut it out."
One of the many statues surrounding the monolith. I took of picture of the ones that struck me as particularly interesting, emotive, or funny.
| A comment on the things children get away with?
| Thinking and giving support?
| Connecting in hard times?

|
| It's a bird; it's a plane... Whatever it is, it must be amazing.
| Each gates to the monolith's plazas had a unique, interesting outline of a scene. Perhaps this one should be called young women - old women.
| On the opposite side of a plaza, a similar double door, just of men instead of women.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Women coming and going.
| Again opposite, men coming and going.
| da Vinci, anyone?
| Again, opposite.

| Man raising a child.
| Adjacent, woman raising a child.
| Woman with vines.
| Man with vines.

|
| Women playing in nature.
| Men playing in nature.
| The park's central fountain, adjacent to the rose garden, which was in
bloom. The monolith and its plaza is in the distance.
| A panoramic picture of the fountain, the many strange statues
surrounding it, and the small bas reliefs lining the perimeter.
I don't really get the fountain or its reliefs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The same shot again. I think this one has better coloring but worse framing.
| The statue-lined bridge that approaches the fountain. The park's main
entrance is in the distance.
This picture was taken at a very
high resolution so you can get the sense of many sculptures by browsing
one shot.
| One of the many statues on/by the bridge.
| The worried child.

|
|
|
|
| The famous tantrum child, Sinnataggen, Little Hot-Head.
| The my-stomach-feels-funny child.
