It's a Nasjonaldgen (National Day) in Norway!

It's "Grunnlovsdagen"  Constitution Day! 

It took years of attempting to remain neutral, but always forced to be controlled by it's neighbors to finally shake free of everyone else's rules, but Norway finally, in 1814, assembled representatives who bound  together and agreed on a Constitution of Norway. May 17th was that day, a national flag day known as syttende mai ( 17th of May). Norway was finally free to choose it's own future.

 A beautiful view of Norway on a memorable day.
