Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo, Norway

Vigeland Park is the largest park featuring one artist, Gustav Vigeland.  It contains more than 200 sculptures of human life and emotions.
Our tour allowed us one hour in the park, which I decided to use to photograph almost every sculpture.  Due to the limited time (about 15sec per sculpture, including walking composing time), some of the photos were blurry or not well composed.
The slideshow of all photos I took is here (Warning: Sculptures depict human in nude form).

Below are some of the photos I took.

The Bridge, the Fountain, and the Monolith

The Bridge contains over 50 sculptures on both sides, here are a few of those.

The most popular sculpture in the park depicting an Angry Boy.  His left fist is golden because many visitors hold his hand taking photos.
