Travel PIP: Close to Home

[GilliC]

The next bi-weekly Travel Photo PIP theme is:

Close to Home / Staycations

Share some photos of sights, scenery, attractions, or general awesomeness in your neck of the woods. Let us know why we should consider your city/county/region for an upcoming trip. After all, there's no place like home for the holidays!

I've always felt a little spoiled living in Oslo, since there's quite a bit to see. The city even sponsors a "Tourist in Your Own City" day every year.

Holmenkollen ski jump


Vigelands sculpture park


Norwegian Folk Museum


Viking Ship Museum


It has easy forest access, so it's not a bad place to enjoy nature!


Or for the more aquatic-minded, there's the Oslofjord:


And of course, the capital is a great place to celebrate the May 17th national day!

I actually don't have that many pics of my town, (NE FL), but our sunrises are nice:


And our beaches are beautiful:

Pictures from an outlying island called Po Toi:


And really close to home, my apartment building under construction. I still have no idea what they are supposed to be fixing.

Because London is awesome:


Covent Garden this week.


Funky random statues everywhere (near St Paul's Cathedral)


As well as lots of random music being played on the streets and in the tube


Despite what people say, we have amazing food (taken at Borough Market)


There's the really famous stuff you can see (and even better from the London Eye)



And sometimes you just see such cool things on a random walk down the street.
