The capital city
Oslo in pictures
NORWAY
Norway is known for it's ice and snow, midnight sun and A-HA :)
Norway's contribution to
sport and peace work has also been noticed around the world.
There is no midnight sun in Oslo, though. Only the northern parts of Norway have midnight sun in the summer. But Oslo has bright summers. And dark winters.
Oslo has from 500 to 750 thousand inhabitants, depending on if you consider the central parts of Oslo or the larger parts.
To see where the city is located, look at this map of Norway.
All pictures are taken in 2001 - 2002 by Egil Presttun.
These days (December 2019) I'm working on a new website with information about the universe - on Presttun.com
