Karl Schmidt-Rottluff's Gartneri / Market Garden, in the special exhibit on German Expressionism. I think this painting looks better from farther away.	Also in the German Expressionism special exhibit, Emil Nolde's Friserhus I / Fresian House I. As with the last picture, I think it looks better from afar.	In a special exhibit, I thought Olafur Eliasson's series of photographs of faults (in Iceland) was a cool idea (though would've been cooler if the photographer found a greater variety of types of faults).
Lunch at Fish Market in Bergen
My open-faced shrimp sandwich, along with some freshly-peeled shrimp Di Yin bought for her lunch and kindly gave me some on a cracker.
Copenhagen
At each gate in the Copenhagen Airport, the parking spot for the plane is marked with its full GPS coordinates. Neat.
At Home
A snack Norwegian food we ate later in London: Two types of goat's milk cheese from Undredal, smoked fish, and wasa crackers. Undredal is a town tiny town near Flam that specializes in goat cheese. Although we didn't manage to make it there, Di Yin located their two most famous varieties of cheese in shops in Bergen and brought them home with us to try. Neither are traditional, pungent, soft goat cheeses. The white/yellow cheese was a hard, mild cheese, not unlike a swiss. The brown cheese was softer and slightly sweet--a good dessert cheese.
