Random Photo

Oslo, Norway, July 2014. 

This old home from a bygone era was on the grounds of our hotel.  There were many of them in other areas we visited, some with the most beautiful carvings on doorways and windows. I loved seeing the grass on the roofs, and sometimes there were wildflowers.

    This is a great old treasure! I like the stone steps leading up to the house. Kind of cute too!

    Hello Denise, it's me again!
    Just stopping by to say, thanks for your comment on the low carb diabetic and yes, if you can find the colour photo I would love to see it please, this is such an unusual building, it must have been amazing to see.
    I know you have visitors so no hurry and I will keep my fingers crossed you can find it!

    Enjoy your Sunday.

    All the best Jan

    Very beautiful to me. I could see myself living in that house with wildflowers on the roof.

    I love looking to old historical buildings, seeing the history and getting some ideas to use today. I have thought about having grass or a roof top garden on part of my house if I could do it.

    That is a dramatic picture that looks so good in black and white. I like the grass on the roof. Did you visit that park in Oslo that has so many old houses? Some had grass on the roof. I took many pictures there but still have not done a post.

    Heisann.... an English produced program was presented on Norwegian TV last week. They showed our culture in the most fantastic way.
