Walking in the Woods
Walking in the WoodsOslo is in close vicinity to 7 islands, most of which have summer houses of the residents of Oslo. A ferry connects you to these islands and there are many beautiful and  peaceful walks around them. Specially in the undisturbed forests and overlooking the quaint summer houses

Two's Company
Two's CompanyI remember when we first met, I think, i was always there before you, and yet, It's surprising that I don't remember your birth...But i remember the day you came into my life,and sat there right beside me..So different were we, me a free soul, showering love on all those around me, Singing with the birds, and swaying with windand you - you just sat there calm n quiet, poised and defined.No one ever thought that together we could be, but one look at us and we were meant to be

Shades of Summer
