Waggs in Norway 1

I am in the capital of Norway, Oslo!

I visited the Vigeland Park, a beautiful green space featuring sculptures created by Gustav Vigeland! Be warned, the sculptures are naked.

Here is a sculpture of the artist, Gustav Vigeland (also the only clothed statue in the park).

Also located in the park is a monolith made of granite. It is comprised of 121 people; it is 17 meters (about 55 and a half feet) tall. It was also sculpted by Gustav Vigeland!

Waggs in Finland 2

I visited a stunning church in Helsinki called the Temppeliaukion Church, or the Rock Church! It is a Lutheran church made of rock! it was created by blasting through the hard bedrock that lies under the city.

I also checked out a theme park - Linnanmaki!

These last pictures are of interesting sites!

The first place I visited was the Sibelius Park! The flora was gorgeous!

Also at this park is the massive Sibelius Monument! It is made of many stainless steel pipes. It was dedicated to the Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius!

Waggs in Sweden 2

Here I am dining in a Medieval basement in Stockholm!

I saw the Vasa warship! it was built in the 1600s, but it sank just 1,300 meters into the Stockholm Harbour its first voyage. It was rediscovered in the 1950s, and it is the most original reclaimed boat to this day.

Here’s what the sculptures would have looked like the day it set sail!

Waggs in Sweden 1

Before I got to Stockholm, I stopped in Granna, home to the famous peppermint factory, Polkapojkarna! I did not get any pictures of the inside of the building, but I took many stunning pictures of the waters!

I arrived in Stockholm!

Here is a statue of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt. She is located on former royal hunting grounds, which is now a park, located by some embassies.

Here’s a bunch of pictures of Swedish water. Because Stockholm is made up of 14 islands, it features a lot of water!

Waggs in Denmark 2

I am in Copenhagen Denmark!

I also saw an apartment complex called the 8 House, or the Big House. It is made up of many different types of apartments and outlet stores. There is shrubbery on the roof, which also acts as a walkway, or green space!

I also saw the Little Mermaid!

I made an obligatory visit to a Lego store!

I went on a boat tour in the Port of Copenhagen. The water was beautiful, yet chilly!

I saw the Rosenborg Castle, a Renaissance castle originally built as a summerhouse in 1606 for the monarch, Christian IV!

Waggs in Norway 2

Elsewhere in Oslo, I came across a monument composed of many chairs, scattered throughout a green space.It commemorates Norwegian Jews that were deported and sent to Death Camps like Auschwitz. 

Here is the monarch’s home!

This statue is right in front of the mansion.
