The aftermath

Oslo is still marked by the terror against the Government quarters and the youth camp at Utøya.
The windows at Hight Court and the Finance Ministry are still covered with wooden plates in the window openings, and the recovery work is in operation.
 
However, the political life has to return to normal activities in an election year (12th September) , and the Election campaign started in Oslo Centre (Spikersuppa) at noon today. Here from the opening show by Høyre.
Prior to this opening campaign the Oslo Jazz Festival opened with the traditional Dixy Music Parade up the main street of Oslo: Karl Johan.
After lunch we gathered at Perrongen Sports Bar, Majorstuen for some hours of Love Jazz together with Gunnar S. ( at his drums) and a lot of other friends. The trumpet on the photo is from 1929 and the same style as Louis Armstrong used.
As part of the Aftermath activities in Oslo international artists have been invited to Oslo for decorating house walls. This is from Majorstuen (vinkelgården) where the Rose Symbol has been "forever" placed to our awareness.
