I was there a few years ago. It was an amazing sculpture park that I had never heard of before. As I went though it, I kept thinking, why doesn't anyone in the USA know of these beautiful sculptures, which depict life's cycle from birth to death.

I have several photos I took of the Babies in a circle, they were so breathtakingly beautiful and real-like.

I was there in 2000. Breathtaking sculptures in this OSLO Vegeland Park. The music is by Edvarg Grieg, Norway's Premiere Classical Musician. - Penny

I really want to visit this now.

Защо не са показани никъде статуите с влечугите, които са прегърнали хора и дори захапали за врата? Какво е посланието? На мен ми се струва, че е много мрачно и предизвиква отчаяние. Някои хора сякаш са с концлагер.Нещо не е наред с тези статуи. Самия факт, че ги крият е показателен.

@MrBaldyriek are you serious? You think these photos will hurt children? Wow... I was actually in this park when I was only around 8 years old with my grandmother and parents. I still remember it, me and my little sister were having fun climbing on some of the statues, and I was so amazed by the huge Monolith that showed people aging! I don't really see how something natural like the naked statues can be disturbing to children.

[MrBaldyriek]

that is really disturbing for kids who watch this. Like they see body parts that are not to be seen in the video

@CRAZYCEL24 Du har jo ikke forstått parken i det hele tatt??? Dette handler jo om livets gang fra fødsel til død. En ting som angår alle mennesker i hele verden og de forstår budskapet, men det er noe du tydligvis IKKE har gjort.

Я-деревенский мальчишка случайно оказался в этом парке в мае 1995 года. Не могу забыть это место. Мечтаю побывать там снова с женой и детьми

You're show is AMAZING

I like the growing pace and the choice of the pictures

I've been in Oslo three times and since the first one I was stunned and a little anguished and this reflects on the show I recently made and posted here on youtube.

But your movie is something different and really gives the sense of the multiple facets of human experience on this world
