Frogner Park: Gate

Taken and originally posted in June 2013.

 

One of eight wrought-iron gates around the Monolith, the centerpiece of Oslo's Frogner Park. The theme of the gates is the Ages of Man. The monolith was carved from a single block of granite by Gustav Vigeland. It comprises 121 intertwined nude figures, all climbing toward the sky -- or aspiring to Heaven.
