Our second day in the mountains was a rainy day, so we donned our weather gear and hit the mountains for a short hike anyway. The site was almost like being underwater. Strange flora and miniature fauna. Squishy moss. Slippery black goo. Rocks. Rain. And fog.



The view



Snow




Up and up to around 1500 meters.


And then back down.

Snow in Oslo and a quick hit means lots of über and two museums.

We will now preside over some Viking ruins!

Not really a Viking ship

And then it was over to a very strange juxtaposition indeed. Maplethorpe is just a wee bit better than Munch, but don’t tell the Norwegiens. Judge for yourself.


Munch in Hell

Maplethorpe is Satan

Death Becomes You


Orgasmic Madonna

“Too Much!” “Not enough!” “Bite my Ice!!!”

Paloma presiding
The snow is still deep. We’re still cutting trails with lots of effort. Sophie is shorter than the snow is tall. But frankly, the slow melt is fantastic given our location on the Shenandoah river.

Thank you.

Snow got you stuck in Chicago? No worries, there is art to be pondered at the Art Institute.

Take a Walk.
