There is a number of interesting sights to be seen, including warehouses along the water front, Edvard Greig's home outside of the city, take the railcar up the mountain overlooking the harbour. You also should see the fruit growing regions, they should be in blossom then. Oslo is also a very interesting city, see the Kon Tiki museum, and Frogner Park has some very intriguing statues. May 17 is the Norwegian Independence day, very colorful parades and celebrations to photograph. Lillehammer, where the Olympics were held is also worth going to, and the local beer is the best in Norway, IMHO. Sweden I can't speak as much about as I only travelled a bit there, but Stockholm is beautiful, and very photogenic, the Baltic coast is very interesting as well, some of the others on the list can tell you a lot more, as they live there. Denmark is less scenic, but the towns and markets would provide many photo opportunities. I hope you have fun on your trip, take a lot of money, as the cost of living is quite high in relation to North America, and going out to restaurants and clubs is expensive. Let me know if I can give you any more info. Noel Charchuk Calgary, Alberta
