Time just keeps moving on...

HELLO !!!!

Recently we got the opportunity to visit Oslo in Norway...it was another inspirational and culturally enriching experience, similar in some way's to a trip to Iceland.
One of the great things about going at this particular time in September, was experiencing the wealth of festivals happening in Oslo.Surrounded by various music festivals, film festivals, arts festivals, and food festivals; being immersed into such a diverse array of activities was quite magical...Oslo was fully alive and buzzing!! all our senses were fused into experiencing all these happenings and moments.
Going to the Edvard Munch Museum and seeing  his famous painting 'The Scream' was a moving moment the simple yet stirring image resonating with human emotions we can all experience, along with Munch's other works most of which tell a story of the human condition.
 It was also great to come across Scandinavian artists I hadn't heard of helping my understanding of the richness of Norway's artistic legend's such as Sculptor Gustav Vigeland ; alive at the time of Munch, Vigeland made incredible sculptures based on the human condition and the cycle of life nearly the whole of Frogner Park is dedicated to displaying his works and is truly awe inspiring...here are a few images.....made of marble and bronze
