Vigeland Park, Oslo, Norway
Around the obelisk
Up from the esplanade is an obelisk that's chock full of images, surrounded on all sides by granite-looking statuary

The images evoked are, again, rooted in human relationships.  I was especially moved by the relationships displayed among persons whose intimacy causes some societal groups discomfort

The freedom to mix genders is refreshing, I think

Though the shadows suppress some detail, I am still moved by this image
