Postcard from Norway: Cycle of life, Oslo

Funny and touching at Frogner (or Vigeland) Park. Sculptor Gustav Vigeland - who designed the Nobel Peace Prize medal - filled this park with over 200 sculptures reflecting our relationships and the cycle of life.

Postcard from Norway: Soft-lit fjord

After Paris, I took a real break and visited a friend and her family in Norway. They were lovely hosts, and we enjoyed casting fishnets, blueberry-picking, hidden beaches and long meals. I was so happy to see her.

A magical moment I could not photograph: As we ate outside one late and quiet night, "Amazing Grace," played by someone on a lone horn, sounded out across the entire fjord.
