Gustav Vigeland An Appreciation

The pictures for this exhibit were taken during a visit to the Vigeland Sculpture Garden in Oslo, Norway, during a trip in August 2001. I had seen the Garden once before, more than twenty years earlier, and it had stayed in my mind as a place I wanted to return to ... and to share with my daugher and son.
