The area where we're living is just up from a fairly well known part of Oslo, Grunerløkka. Yesterday we went for a quick walk through the area and I took some photos for some visual documentation.
Across the street from us is Rodeløkkens Kolonihager—the community gardens, which I mentioned earlier. Also just down a bit further from this is the actual suburb/area called Rodeløkka, which again is full of quaint small wooden houses. Back in the day Oslo burnt down and they weren't allowed to build any more wooden houses in the city. There were sill some small pockets that were unaffected by the fire and they remain today, though they have heaps of building restrictions on them now as they are all mostly heritage listed.

So much green.

More green. And apples.

I'd be more inclined to put up an Australian flag if its very layout didn't make it look like a franchise of the British. Jim's Australia. That and Cronulla.
Park in Grunerløkka
People are out in the parks any day there is a little bit of sun. Basically any day with minimal cloud cover is enough to get them out. It's making me a little bit worried about the winter coming up...
Street in lower Grunerløkka
This is basically looking towards the centre(ish) of Oslo. It's about a 5 minute walk down that street.

I'm going to have to stop finding these signs amusing one day soon.
