These guys and gals are very sharp creatures. If they spot any tidbits with you, they'll keep circling around. We didnt throw any for quite a while, so they just stopped flying around. Then we flung a few pieces out into the water and vrroom, they zoomed out of nowhere to pick the goodies.
They even catch the goodies in mid-air.

Duck and duckling.



Amazing how this small one below will grow up to be as colorful as the one above.

Stortinget - this means parliament in Norwegian. These snaps I took when i visited the public library, which is near the Norwegian parliament. The library building is visible in the bottom right - green one with the letters "DEICHMANSKE BIBLIOTEK" written on it.
PS: the building visible below is not the parliament building.





Now heres some interesting trivia about the buses in Oslo. They are GPS enabled and the internal address system (which anounces the stops) is tied to the GPS. This live data is also fed to the site http://www.trafikanten.no/. So, when you try searching for a bus route, you can get the exact location of the bus and in how many min it would arrive at your bus-stop. Cool stuff lah.
