Oslo - Royal Guard, QM 2 and Danish days at Aker Brygge

Back in Norway and time to present some more daily situations and photos from my life:

An ordinary day at the end of the week? Maybe not. In front of the Royal Palace the Kings Guard are exercising and presenting their program for this year Military Tattoo. Precision and spectacular formations accompanied with music, song and gun bangs. "Bravoes" and applause from people watching, and a lots of photos and videos taken by tourists and ordinary Oslo citizens.

Strolling further from the Royal Castle to Akershus Fortress

The great ocean liner RMS Queen Mary 2 has been visiting Oslo, and maybe some of the spectators at the Royal Castle came from this ship.

On the other side of Piperviken, Alfen at "Lektern summer Restaurant" is decorated with Dannebrog signalizing that it is Danish days at Aker Brygge.

Danish Salami, Red sausages and "Winerbrød" are examples of what is given to taste for free (well the Hot Dog costs ten Norwegian kroner, but that is almost free.)

Back home I went into my studio and the easel to finish my latest painting (acrylic on canvas 70x70).
It started up as a tribute to the spring outside my windows, but may end up as a farewell greeting from someone leaving.
