Frimpong in Norway - by Tom Gulbrandsen

Photos by TOM GULBRANDSEN
I arrived to Norway…guess how….
Inside a damned cardboard box, of course!
So I was really happy when Tom took me out and I was ready to stretch
and to start my stay in Norway with a relaxing period.
But Tom told me : “You are just on time, Frimpong, in few hours we’ll take a train to Oslo!”.
So I started by following Tom immediately
to go to celebrate Norwegian national day.
Now I’m back to Bergen and I’m really enjoying my stay with Tom.
By the way, if you want to have a broader idea about the beauty of Norway
and the photographic talents of Tom,

The photos of my stay in Norway will be posted nearly on real time,
and you can see them, little by little, immediately here below.
