Hold it - right there



How could anyone resist smiling? (Just don't laugh too hard, ouch)
These light-hearted graphics are displayed  on the doors to the restrooms in the Bergen International Airport. Perfect for an area where many languages are spoken. And their size gives hope to those in urgent need who can identify them from quite a distance.

Flush button


This summer took us to northern Europe again - this time to Bergen, Norway and the Faroe Islands. There wasn't a lot of blog-worthy washrooms but I did my best. 

This shot is from a public restroom, a pub, I think in Bergen.
The Scandinavian love for clean design is evident here in the flush button on the top of the tank. I know I can hear you groaning now, but if you look closely - the flush button is pretty much flush with the top of the tank. (ba-dum-bum-CHING)
