The top statue in the center of the park.

The most famous statue in the park of an angry little boy.

A statue of Lincoln in the park given to Norway by people of North Dakota (probably Norwegian immigrants) early 20th century.
Our US embassy.  Under lock and key and fence and guards.  As usual.

A picture outside the city hall morning they gave 1991 belated Nobel Peace Prize to Suu Kyi this past Saturday.  The king and queen were there too. 

The National Theatre on Karl Johans Gate.

In the Oslo Hard Rock Cafe, this is the drum set used by Alex Van Halen to record the first Van Halen album in 1978 and also went on their subsequent tour.  Autograph on upper left drum in picture says "Turn it up".

  1. That's pretty amazing that there would be a monument to honest Abe in Oslo! Were you surprised to see it there? Looks like a beautiful place.
