The most wonderful illustration of Oslo with the tip of Nesodden pointing into the fjord. I found it in this book:
The book is from 1966 and features Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. The Oslo text and illustrations are by Odd Brochmann. I will probably come back to this book to show you some of the other capital highlights.

This one I dedicate to my blog friend Lisa. If you read her blog Krims Krams you will understand why :-)
I find this one funny. The trams look different today, but the weekend skiers are just as mad. (That's my opinion, anyway.)
Nothing beats a beautiful Norwegian summer. Next week is St. Hans eve (midsummer night). I wish we still celebrated it as stylishly as in this drawing.
An extra treat for my Norwegian readers - the text that accompanies the illustration above:
Amen.

The tram drawing is so cool, rather hilarious. :)
Good find! Looking forward to seeing the other capitals.
ha ha! Janne you are very funny! I did not walk around like that only in Feb but dec,jan and march also and I keep dreading the summer ending and getting back to that horrid long winter! (although I feel a little more prepared for it after experiencing a tough Norsk winter!)
