May 17th is the day Norwegians celebrate our Constitution, our freedom and our liberal democracy. It is a celebration that is by the people, for the people. Most people take part, no matter if you are young or old, an immigrant or of Viking descent, all have a good time with friends and family.
It has become increasingly apparent that the values we celebrate can no longer be taken for granted. All the more reason to celebrate and take a stand.
Happy Constitution Day, Norway!

Happy Constitution Day, Bjorn.
A little bit of 'home' for you. Photo taken a couple of weeks ago from my Sister-in-law's summer house near Drammen.

Now at home in Wiltshire.
