Norway

One of the many extraordinarily human statues by Gustav Vigeland in Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo.


A moment of quiet reflection today for the horrible events in Norway on Friday. I am astonished and so saddened that such barbaric things could happen in places we were in so recently and, more importantly, in places that were so peaceful and beautiful.

You chose a very good photo to remind us how short and precious lives can be.
I was in Vigeland, too, it is an astonishing park. I have seen nothing like that before or after.

Thanks Pina. I was looking for something to express the very opposite of such absolute hatred.

Vigeland is quite incredible, isn't it. Such strong sculptures.
