      ...purely from a standpoint of how the camera performs in a low light/fast moving action situation of course
      Hahaha

      I'll have to take it up on my website, I guess...

        Mr. nickbot has a point there. While this trip report was interesting, a towel report might take us back to previous N_Architect reports, which were shall I say different.

                Sure, I will.

                Not started that 'TR' yet, but I have at least figured out the title:

                "The Towel Diaries"

                Diary to hopefully also include spa/sauna place 'test-drive'.

                  God must have been a ship owner, he placed the raw materials far from where they are needed and covered two-thirds of the earth with water...

                    Looks like a real animal!
                    Any story about this statue?

                      No story about the statue that I know of.
                      There may be one though, but from my end I do not happen to know it (yet.)

                      It may be a contemporary sculpture made by a young artist, or it may symbolize smt specific, but personally I am not aware of this.

                        I have asked some that I know off who live in and around OSL and no one seems to think that there is any story behind the tiger statue.

                        IIRC, there was once when they painted the statue with some funky floral colours... Not sure why though.

                          Apparently various Google searches seem to indicate Oslo is known as the Tiger City for reasons which are not explicitly clear, apart from the spirit of its founders and in literature (poems) by a certain personality..

                            The city was once referred to as Tigerstaden (the City of Tigers) by the author Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson around 1870, due to his perception of the city as a cold and dangerous place. This name has over the years achieved an almost official status, to the extent that the 1000-year anniversary was celebrated by a row of tiger sculptures around city hall. The prevalence of homeless and other beggars in more recent times led to the slight rewording of the nickname into Tiggerstaden (the City of Beggars). Another harsh picture of the city was drawn by Knut Hamsun in his novel Sult (Hunger) from 1890 (cinematised in 1966 by Henning Carlsen).
                            This is from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo). Never knew that Tiggerstaden refers to city of beggars as the direct translation is tiger city (as far as I know)...

                                Shouldn't it be called "The No-towel Diaries"?
