| Part of the harbour near Akershus Fortress |
 |
| Sidewalks were snow covered and slippery. |
 |
| The girls figuring out where we are and where we want to go. |
 |
| It was possible to walk around inside the fortress, but all the buildings were closed, except the interpretive center. |
 |
| Oslo is a city of sculptures. |
 |
| Two doors but how do you use the top one? |
 |
| This fortress is also used by the Norwegian military - so watch for traffic. |
 |
| More interesting architecture. |
 |
| A better view of the waterfront. |
 |
| Cannon facing the shore. |
 |
| A WWII captive wrote about his experiences on TP - this art installation at the Resistance Museum (also closed) remembers him. |
 |
| Soldier keeping a watchful eye. |
 |
| He must be frozen. It was a bitterly cold day. |
 | |
| Inside the interpretive center we learned about the history of the fortress as a castle and then as a prison. However these felt covered foam cushions caught my interest. |
 |
| I also quite liked the block of wood + sheep skin = chair idea. |
 |
| But the block of wood with rope handles + round sheep skin was good too. |
