Impressions of Oslo VIII

Another series of pictures from Oslo - I played tour guide for an Australian friend last summer. This was almost a year ago, lol, I am so up-to-date ;)

After a long time of restauration, they had the extraordinary sledges displayed again - first time I saw them but it was quite hard to take pictures because of the glass.



I tried to capture the eye made of amber:



Gjøa - the first ship sailing through the Northwest Passage:



And another impression of Åkershus ... they change the flowers every year:
