  "textContent": "I kept drifting toward the Royal Palace this summer, camera in hand and no big plan in mind. So I figured: why not turn that accidental habit into a mini-project? One week, zero rules. Just intuition.\n\n## **H** ow I did it\n\n  * Walked up Karl Johans gate until the palace plaza opened up in front of me.\n  * Assessed the situation: If the King’s Guard was doing drills/changing of the guards, the plaza was packed and crapmed. If they weren’t, the place felt huge and almost empty.\n  * Circled the building once or twice, depending on the tourist traffic and drills.\n  * Wandered back down Karl Johans gate hunting for street-photo moments before grabbing coffee.\n\n\n\nI wasn’t chasing a grand narrative about royalty, guards, or selfie-sticks. I only shot whatever caught my eye right then. The whole exercise, repeated on every stroll, turned out fresher (and a lot more fun) than I expected.\n\n## Here are the photos\n\nNow, enough words. Time for pictures. Enjoy the snapshots from my accidental palace detour.",
