Out and About – Random Abstract Shots

Here is a collection of abstract shots of random things I’ve come across while out and about. I’ve been collecting these since 2024 and most were taken around Oslo and further afield in Norway, with a few from our more recent trips to Sweden and Denmark. Only one was taken inside: a shot of pineapple leaves in the kitchen. The set includes a mix of man-made and natural items. Random for sure!
