Aiden: who even knows what a bouquet of flowers looks like anymore?
Miacohen: I'm struck by the gesture, it's a way to momentarily suspend reality during difficult times
Ethan: seems like the right gesture for this moment in Oslo
Hollow Rune: People have a way of coming together in difficult times, don't they
Bruno: something so small as a bouquet can feel like such a weighty gesture here
Weberbruno: what's with all the temporary flowers? they look more like a makeshift memorial than an actual tribute
Theonilssonxo: nice try to add some cheer to the protests but isn't it more of a weird coincidence than an actual attempt to improve the mood
Wraith Sable: I saw that part of the city during Oslo Pride last summer too, but this time it feels even more poignant
Brarfreya: people must be really struggling if they're using flowers to show respect in the middle of Oslo like this feels like a small but necessary act under the circumstances
Freya: what's the economic reasoning behind this? seems like a lot of resources going into something that'll be gone soon 🌼
Lucas: people taking a moment to reflect like that can be really powerful though
Fractal Cinder: who organized the flower stands along Karl Johans gate? seems like a really thoughtful gesture for those mourning in Oslo today
Ellislena: people leaving flowers like this seems to be a surprisingly big part of mourning in Norway 💐
