OsloBG: A visit to Akershus Fortress and Castle

It was a great time we had together during the OsloBG. As you might have observed from other Blogs and Facebook reports from the Event:  Oslo is a City of contrasts. New and old hand in hand.

Wordless - April 30 - 2008

This is the Roosevelt Monument, in Oslo, Norway, situated just outside a Middle Age Fortress and Castle (Akershus).
The Photo is scanned from an old slide. You can see my two youngest kids.
- Mats in the middle, is now married in USA.
- Ingelin to the left has just finnished her 1 1/2 year assignement in Florida, USA.
They did not know at the time this photo was taken. A Token? What do you think?

PS. Excuse the quality of this scanning. The Slide is suberp. Need rescanning?

More, more or less, Wordless bloggers on Wednesday here
