Don't blame the Norwegians entirely - image #3 was taken in Iceland. However, Iceland is not far away, so there could still be some Norwegian influence here.  ;)

Think of the instillation as being more public art than public amenity. Whether or not it is functional art (that is, an aesthetic object that serves a utilitarian purpose), remains unknown - I did not test its functionality.

The Icelanders descend from Norwegian stock going back to the early Viking age. They are also in near contact with the Nature.

I like Bjørn's and Mikes' images regardless of amenities at stake :)

I appreciate near contact with nature ... but I draw the line at freezing one's arse off for a deuce.
