One of the perks of my job is the abundance of paid holidays. I get not only US but local holidays off as well. Friday was Norwegian Labor Day. I spent the better part of the morning biking around town. Just up the street from my house is Vigelandsparken with its famous statutes.
I have to say I was impressed.
This Mother and Child was my favorite.
The sheer volume of statutes was also impressive. The circle of men is even further up the hill.
And a bust of Lincoln presented to Norway by the people of North Dakota in 1914?

Looks like you are having lovely weather!!
the last pic made me lol.
my fave statue there was of a toddler boy having a tantrum.
he was the artist's son - and i guess there was a lot of family strife - i can't remember the exact details - but i thought it so cool that a whole park was dedicated to him.
Eliza can I just tell you how much I love the fact that we have the same sense of humor? You and Hannah are about the only ones who ever think I'm funny.
I just really couldn't get over how funny it was that lincoln's bust was there just thrown on in.
