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.
The Fountain, surrounded with Tree like sculptures
Sculpture of children hanging off a tree
The Monolith, which is carved from a single limestone.

Geirangerfjord
Geirangerfjord is one of 2 fjords in Norway listed on UNESCO World Heritage Site. We took the Fjord1 ferry from Hellesylt to Geiranger along the fjord.
The deep waters of the fjord allow large cruise ships to sail through
This waterfall looks as if it is falling from the sky due to the misty weather.
Arriving at Geiranger
Heading to the peak of Mount Dalsnibba (which sounds like 打死你吧, "beat you to death" in Mandarin), to look at a spectacular view of the fjord
Vista point on the way up to the peak
Remote farm hidden in the mountains
