There, where the nature is severe, where long winter and rainy summer, blossoming plants are especially appreciated. In Norway them grow up everywhere where only it is possible. In the spring Norwegians plant many tulips, in the summer on sidewalks in concrete cones and pieces bent in кулек slate place enormous bouquets of large red or dark blue petunias.
Baskets with colors hang as lanterns and at corners of houses, both on columns and above street on the cord tense between houses. Colors decorate also walls of houses; under each of windows - garlands bright red pelargonium, seeming from afar roses.
The part of a wall without windows is covered by an alive bas-relief. On a wall the tree is split alive, with leaves. It so is densely pressed to a wall, that from afar it seems drawn.
At windows of shops, cafe and even banks it is possible to see the indoor plants originally grouped. Esheverium, cactuses, pelargonium, a wax tree grow in the long boxes covered by a moss, pieces of a bark of a pith oak. The trunk of a birch with the sawn off thick branches on which pots with plants are put is beautiful.
It is decorated by plants and an interior of buildings. Long twigs of ivy with blade sheet leaves create a beautiful pattern on a white wall. On tables are narrow vases from metal, glasses or ceramics - black, with dark blue zigzags, a narrow neck.
Dinner elderly strict women in black dresses with the white starched collarets and over sleeves submit. Instead of wine and beer on tables ice water in crystal jugs. And bread is replaced with thin petals of cookies. Like crackling small loafs of bread.
Characteristic feature Norwegians - severity, restraint, the order in all and trust to people.
In sports in Norway are engaged almost all from it is small up to it is great. Grandsons and the grandfather quite often go down from snow mountain together on skis with the grandmother. There is a saying, that Norwegians are born together with skis. Well and in the summer - tourism, a life in tent in a wood.
