A small town too. Yesterday, when I walked home, I passed through the very center (I live more or less in the center too), past "Stortorvet" (Main Market). They were having a "F?rik?l" (F?r i k?l ... literally "Mutton in cabbage" ... and that's what it literally is too) festival. They had a huge, and I mean huge, pot in the middle of the market and were dishing the stuff out to anyone who would eat it. I though "what the hell, food's expensive in Oslo. I'm not going to pass by a free meal." I took a plate and a few shots and burped wet woolies the rest of the evening. Leica shots ... have to wait until I get home to process and scan them.
