17th of May, the day that unit's the Nation

I love this day, it is Norway's national day. And after 13 years of school, I have been looking for this 17th of May for several years. This was indeed a special day. As it is, graduates of secondary school in Norway have a tradition that is unique for Norway, and Norway alone. We have a uniform so to say, that I mean the graduates wear a form of work pants designed for handymen, and there's the hat^^ A lovely tradition, absurd and strange as it is called the period of the Russ. Russ it is so named due to the Latin meaning. It dictates to a young bull who releaves him(or her)self of his horns; the shedding of horns - passage to adulthood, the last rebellion before the bumpy road called life.

Us In the park enjoying post - graduation and the sweet mild may. And the hat, so nautorious is viewed below. It has attatcments that shows what sideloops we've taken during the period of the Russ.

Merry 17th of MAy people!!! enjoy!!
