| Fascinerende moderne offentlig gatekunst. Modern street art with butterflies in Oslo |

| Ton i ton, tilfeldig eller veloverveiet farvevalg? |
 |
| Hva kom først, huset eller treet? Huset holdt visst lenger enn opprinnelig byggherre kunne se for seg.... A well grown tree, or a wall grown one? |

| Jeg vet en brolagt stille gate... A quiet little street in the center of Oslo |
 |
| En liten snarvei - her klatret vi noen trinn sammen iblant, med handleposer, min mor og jeg. A steep short-cut |

| Minnemarkeringer kan finnes på flere adresser i Oslo hvor det bodde jøder som ble deportert under annen verdenskrig Memorials for Jews deported from Oslo during WW2, when Norway was occupied for five years |
All photos are views from Oslo, from last year's walks (except those two further down).
A day ago there were snow all over, but nothing yesterday -
it is February with rain, and the snow is vanished..
On February 6th it was the Nationalday of the Sami people,
also with some festivity and celebrations in Oslo.
Several Sami people wore decorative, traditional outfits on this day,
I saw a few, and listened to a concert with the traditional Sami 'joik' singing.
Mainly the Sami people live in Northern Norway/Northern Scandinavia,
being a Scandinavian native population, traditionally based on reindeer herding;
today also a lot live further south - like in Oslo - where there are no reindeer.
Lately, I've been reading the old book 'Laila' with my kids,
about people in Sami environments decades ago
(the book was first published in 1881 and a silent movie based on this book was made in 1929).
