The Vigeland Park
Would you agree that the best place to be regardless of seasons is the park? We may or can not be in there everyday but when we need to be with ourselves or with friends in solitude, the park is absolutely a good choice. When hubby and I are travelling, we often find a park to sit and admire the bounty of nature; apart from seeing imminent structures in the city. Some parks may also have distinct structures and sculptures and it might be a disappointment to miss them in your travel. Like when you’re in Oslo you should not miss the Vigeland Park, the world’s largest sculpture park.
The Vigeland Park in Oslo, Norway
It has been quite a while since we were in this park. It’s quite peculiar in that it has a lot of sculptures inside, not only in bronze but also in granite and wrought iron. I especially admired the Monolith Plateau, which is on the highest point of the park. I posted a photo of it in my first year of blogging and I recently changed the small photo to a bigger one.

It was said that it took 10 years to complete this park. The 850 meter long axis consists the main gate, the bridge with the children’s playground, the fountain, the Monolith Plateau and the Wheel of Life.

The Wheel Of Life
This bronze sculpture is standing at the Vigeland Park in Oslo, Norway. The wheel is a “symbol of eternity and is here executed as a garland of women, children and men holding on to each other.”
The Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bridge

This Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bridge can be seen spanning E18, the highway between Oslo, Norway and Sweden in the township of Ås. This stunning bridge was originally designed by Leonardo Da Vinci, the artist of the Renaissance, in 1502 but never built. It was 500 years after when the Norwegian artist, Vebjorn Sand took the idea of building the bridge. It was unveiled on October 31, 2001.
The bridge serves as a pedestrian bridge over a highway in the town of Ås. It spans about 220 ft. long with a height of 26 ft. The Leonardo Da Vinci’s bridge honors both the Renaissance artist and the contemporary artist of all time.
