Playing Statues in Oslo
For such a small place Oslo has such a large amount of statues. Every corner you turn there’s a statue waiting to be looked at. After a while they just become big blobs of stone and metal in the cityscape. But you better watch out – the little Nisse (Norwegian elves) have a habit of moving the statues around the city. What you saw at the wharf yesterday might be standing in the market street tomorrow. I think the Nisse must be playing some kind of giant game of chess – and the city is the game board.
