  "textContent": "Street photography does this to you. You start noticing things you’d normally walk past. And once you’ve noticed, you can’t stop asking. Who brought a frying pan to a park in February? Why did they leave it? Did they carry it from home, or did it come from somewhere closer? Was it a deliberate act or did someone just give up halfway through whatever they were doing? There’s a whole sequence of events that led to this moment, and I’ll never know any of it.\n\nThat’s what I like about this image. It doesn’t answer anything. It just sits there, the same way the pan sat there, and leaves you with the questions. Norwegians are practical people. We don’t leave things behind without a reason. Somebody had one. I just don’t know what it was.\n\nThe pan was still there when the bus came.\n\n* * *\n\n#### Series: 28 days in monochrome\n\nI once tried shooting an entire year in black and white. It didn’t last. In February 2026, I tried again, this time limiting myself to just one month. This is one of the images from that challenge.\n\n  * ## Apparently some of them bring furniture\n\nMar 13, 2026\n\n—\n\nby\n\nSivert Almvik\n\nin Blog\n\nAn older man boards an Oslo tram carrying a rocking chair and a pair of skis.
