This Saturday post is a follow up of at least two blog-comments lately.
From GAWO She gave me an award for teaching her about Oslo, and thanks for that.
From Marie. I was given the title “Byherre” (City Dandy?) without competence in farming, and she is close to the truth. Previously I have covered Urban People and their surroundings, but why not give some more snapshots from Oslo
The Post is also a consequence of walking in Bogstadveien (one of Oslos shopping streets).
In a fashion shop this Leopard can be seen.Most people in Norway know that the Capital – Oslo – also is called "Tigerstaden".
This name came from the writer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, who in his poem “Last Song” wrote about the dangerous and merciless big city.
Today Oslo is one of the most secure cities in the world, but for rural people watching news from the capital at TV, Oslo may be seen as big, violent, dangerous and only for urban lifestyle. Perhaps that is why the council has places this Tiger close to the Central Railroad Terminal.But Oslo has also some other animals around in streets and places.
At the Parliament (Løvebakken), the entrance are guarded by Lions giving the small arrival hill its name.We can even find an Elephant near Majorstuen.I have difficulties finding cows and horses, but pocket dogs are seen in many Louis Vuitton bags at Cafes. Sometimes we also can observe cats and dogs like the one we met in Brussels Have a nice Saturday strolling and/or website scrolling wherever you are.

These sculptures aare amazing - really fun
Love this post! It was really interesting and the animals are very attractive. Congratulations on your awards!
Oh i love this post, i really got a kick out of the last one.
Da har jeg lært noe nytt idag også. Ikke visste jeg at Tigerstaden stammet fra Bjørnson. Mange rare dyr i byen din. Men finner du en ugle? Her har du en utfordring!!
I've never been to Oslo or had any interest in the Scandinavian area, but you are changing my mind! The fashions look great as do the animal statues! Thanks for the history lesson, too. :D
