Here are some photos from a park near where we live called Vigeland. The first one we have dubbed 'Angry Baby'! All the works in this park were made by Vigeland and it is a large park with a very elaborate fountain surrounded by wall sculptures and free standing tree sculpture with people of various stages of life entwined inthe branches. Most of the sculptures in these photos are from a bridge which is lined with bronzes. Further along there is a series of works carved from stone with an obelisk in the center consisting of people. They do not look unhappy they are just all together. It is quite an amazing piece and difficult to photograph (all the postcards of this piece look kind of tacky to me).

At any rate, we have visited this park many times, mostly in the evening around sunset - quite a lovely view.
