Nuts and a holocaust reminder…

Today Oslo set a temperature high record. It was actually warmer here than southern Europe. I went for a walk. All the snow was gone today, and thing started to appear. This witch lay on the grass staring at me, together with an golden angel.

On the fifth print, you can see bronze inlays in the pavement in Oslo. This are reminders of norwegian jews who were deported during the war. At the start of the war, there were apx 1800 jews in Norway, some of them refugees from Germany. About half of the jewish population managed to escape to Sweden, but 767 jews were arrested and deported with the ship M/S Donau, the 25 of november 1942. As the dates show, they went straight to the gas chambers in Auschwitz. Ages? 22, 23, 43 and 52…

Of the 767 deported, only 34 were to return.

Second snow…

In Norway you never can be sure that the winter is over. We had bare streets for almost two weeks, and then we woke up to this winter wonderland. It lasted only for one day though.

All prints are with the John S Lens and the AO DLX Film.

Oslo by fog…

In the breaking point between winter and early spring, we get a lot of fog in Oslo. Last week I was walking in the city, and here are some prints.
