Arrived in Oslo, jet-lagged, sweaty and lacking sleep, but happy. The weather is absolutely beautiful. I drew this woman sitting by the several fountains in the center of the city. Then, as I headed back to my hotel, taking notice of how, even though there were a lot of people out and about, Oslo is a quiet city. Suddenly, a marching band appeared out of nowhere. I have no idea why, what the occasion is. Maybe you don’t need an occasion for a marching band. It certainly was not what one would expect in the center of Oslo. It was a real treat.
Love it! I’m in Denmark next month and can’t wait. I’ve found Nordic countries to a fresh break from ... America ... never need an excuse to make music!! I have plans to busk with a couple other harmonica players on the streets of Viborg ... we’re gonna do it without asking first... feels naughty, Danes are all about the rules 😁😁😁🇩🇰🇩🇰
A cheery band selection being played. That was a fun surprise! My nephew is Norwegian and such a great guy. I need to go along with them one of these days as they go once a year to visit relatives. Their photos of statues are amazing. Take in as many sights as time allows you. Keep us posted when you have time. I'm a bit jealous!
Sounded like “oh you beautiful doll”, which is such a quaint old song but certainly could be your Welcome to Oslo moment 😊 enjoy! Love Norway & Sweden so much.

Perhaps they were playing to welcome you to Oslo.
I second that!
aw that's a lovely thought! Thank you!
What a hoot! Celebrating the gorgeous weather, no doubt!
