Norway: Oslo

Yesterday was a very nice surprise postcard in my letterbox. It was my first postcard from Norway and what is even better the card shows Norway's capital Oslo.

Norway is a country in Scandinavia bordering on Sweden, Russia and Finland. Norway is a member of the UN and of the OECD. Norway's head of state is King Harald V.

Oslo is not only the capital of Norway but also Norway's largest city.
The card shows the Oslo Harbour with Akerhus Fortress, the City Hall (where the Nobel Peace Prices are lent) and Aker Brygge.


Stamp:
Tourist stamp (from set of three) (issued 15-04-2011)

On the backside of the postcard is also a map of Norway.


Thank You very much Brigitte!
