Norway: Shed Capital of the World

Posted on June 15, 2009

Oslobeach_huts1

I spent part of last week in Oslo and discovered that Norway is arguably the shed capital of the world. I’ve posted two sets of photographs on my photoblog, Ingrahap, of waterside huts from around Oslo Fjord here and here. Shed week starts on July 6th this year. Go and vote for your shed of the year, right here. I’m backing Bletchley Park hut 6.
