Oftentimes I just click a pic of what I think of as a beautiful landscape, a glorious sky, or maybe some interesting terrain and I prefer to capture the view without the distraction of people in the shot. Here, in contrast, are some landscape shots in and around Oslo that happen to include people enjoying themselves or going about their business.
