More uniforms...

So lately my brother finished the mandatory military services and is now standing guard whereever he is assigned. Be it the Queens Palace, (one of the)summer residence(s) etc.

My family and I went to see him in action and to take pictures. Just posting a few of them.


This used to be a summer residence but is not used as residence anymore. Now it houses the crown jewels (heehee, sounds so funny) and is open to tourists. It's the Rosenborg castle and because noone lives there, they only have to wear their green military uniforms.



My grandparents and my brother. Can you tell by my grandmothers face how proud she is?






The statue in the middle of the square of the Queens palace. It cost so much back in the days, that the king almost had none left to rule the country. He wanted an impressive statue and hired a renowned sculptor from France.







Standing gurad at the Queens palace, in the "real" uniform. The red one is reserved for special occasions like the Queens birthday and so on.

It's kind of weird for me to admit, because I'm his sister and all but...I suppose that if you don't look too closely...then my brother's not THAT bad-looking after all. Haha, he's turning into a fine young man... I guess... ^^
