Farewell to Norway

The last thing we visited in Oslo, other than the airport, like six hours before our flight ;-), was a lovely little flower market. It was nice to see some beautiful flowers in that dreary weather.

This will be the end of the Oslo gallery; thank you for all the great comments and votes! I must admit, as I’ve told people who have commented, that I like the city a bit more after going through my pictures. Maybe it does deserve another chance, at a better time of year!

I don’t know if I’ll be able to post anything else today, but will try at least to comment. My newspaper’s headquarters in Istanbul were raided last night by the police on the pretext of searching the printing plant for us publishing a paper that has been banned. Never a dull moment these days… http://www.todayszaman.com/national_lawyers-condemn-crackdown-on-critical-media-as-police-raid-zaman-media-group_404027.html
