I visited Oslo a few weekends ago, right at the height of autumn. Because of the unusually warm September in Edinburgh, most of the trees are still green here with all their leaves. Come on autumn, arrive in Edinburgh already!
My sister and I met my little brother, who is studying abroad in London, for a quick 48 hour trip to the capital city. I can’t wait to share a more detailed itinerary but until then, enjoy these autumn colors! If you haven’t guessed from my Instagram account, I’m still drooling over the colors in Norway…even a few weeks later!
I want these gorgeous leaves (vines?) on the side of my future house…how gorgeous are they?!
Not spotted in the above photo: an amazing musician who was just playing the best classics! Lots of Bob Dylan :)
I wish there was a way for me to bottle up all these autumn colors and bring that back to Edinburgh with me. Better yet, I wish we could keep these colors year-round!
Obviously I ended my day at the Royal Palace! Would you really expect anything less from me? ;)
I feel like I got super lucky and caught Oslo at the peak of their autumn colors. And here’s a hint, there really is no need to spend more than 48 in Oslo…it is a super manageable city in just a weekend (and your bank account will thank you for it!)
Question: What’s your favorite place to see autumn colors?
Agreed! Norway in autumn is just so beautiful! Can’t believe it’s still green in Scotland though! It already snowed in Germany…. crazy world! Also, I visited Oslo for 3 days and was kinda bored on my third day so one to two days are definitely enough for this little capital ;)
So beautiful! The fall colors have been amazing this year, I am going to be sad to see them go. And aren’t you quite the international family! That is awesome!
Gorgeous! Just curious, what are you doing in Edinburgh? :)
I’m swooning over those gorgeous fall trees! That’s so fun that you got to do a sibling trip together.
Agreed, the colors are beautiful. We don’t get much color in Florida……we usually go from green to brown to bare. The noreaster yesterday blew brown leaves into our pool. No more swimming until next May
you guys have quite the international family – 3 kids all abroad at once! the colors here look lovely, though you know I am biased towards a certain mitten-shaped state ;) honestly I’d love to see fall colors in person anywhere, since we don’t really get them in Taiwan.
So awesome that you have your siblings experiencing the UK with you! How fun :) And this is beautiful… I do think that no autumn can beat a New England autumn, but there are so many that come very close!
Great post! You have an amazing blog:)
What about following each other on Instagram, Bloglovin, Twitter? Let me know:)

Jordan, great article! Frogner is beautiful!! Did you get a chance to rub the little boys hand? Interesting fact about Frogner, the US Marines house is right off of it, along with the US CMR! Also as you probably noticed most of the statues are naked, but there are a handful that are clothed, some very well hidden. I challenge you next time to see if you can find and count how many have a little decency ;) I really hope you had the opportunity to see the fjords, however i dont see photos!! They are a must and really show how beautiful the country is. Wish that you had more time in Norway, there is so much beauty. Hope one day you get to visit it again.. im sure there are people who will be there that will miss you like crazy.

Amazing! Oslo has been calling my name for a while and this is totally prompting me to look into flight deals!
Oh the trees in Scotland don’t often change colour much because there isn’t such a big change in temperature I heard – which is disappointing, it’s one of my favourite parts of autumn! :)
Insanely gorgeous!
Man, those are some really awesome autumn colors. Beautiful captures!
WONDERMENTARY
