The afternoon was completely cloudless and beautiful, so I walked from the University down to Vigeland Park. It is a beautiful park that contains many bronze and granite statues made by G. Vigeland. He tried to capture every human emotion, and I have yet to find one he missed. It's an amazing park and I have enjoyed visiting it many times before. But, it was difficult to take photos, since I kept going back to the statues that I have already photographed before. I was looking for one photo that might give you an idea of the park, but never quite found it. But, I did see a statue that I had not noticed before--a woman in the arms of a dragon. And, I walked up toward the top and took a photo of the overview. It is winter, but so much less harsh than I expected. It has been right at or a little above freezing, with no rain/snow yet. I'm sure that will change.
Here is the Wikipedia site with more photos and a good description of the park.
