My first trip to Oslo

Some of you may not agree with me, but in my opinion Oslo is quite a dull city (I am talking about its look) - although it seems they are trying to change this. Comparing even to other Norwegian towns, it does not create a special impression. However there are some places that worth a visit.

One of my favourites is Snøhetta's iceberg shaped opera house placed on the fjord's coastline, which's marble clad rooftop creates a large public space and nevertheless inspiring views for a photographer.
























There is a place in the 'Grünerløkka' district, where whole streets are decorated with paintings, graffities and other street art pieces. Near the popular 'Blå' café and club, you can find ocasional market, where the local artist are selling their works.
































You can find classical Norwegian elements,...

...and some 'shits' as well.


















Ok, maybe it is not so bad after all, how I have described it (and I will post more photos of Oslo), but it probably won't be my favourite city.

The colors of Norway

 

What I really like about Norway (other than
its environment) and basically about whole Scandinavia are the colors. I am not just talking about the colors of nature, but also those you can see on houses, boats, gates,
or mailboxes - just to mention a few.

Most of these pictures are taken in Drammen, during September 2009.

Norge!

 
After the 2 years I spent in Denmark, I moved to Norway to continue my studies. My school is in Drammen (close to Oslo), but before I came here I got the chance to look around a bit in this area. Well, this means rather South Norway. So here are my first Norwegian pictures - a lot more is coming soon ;)

This photo from this medieval wooden church was stiched together from 3 HDR pictures to got this look.

Røldal, June

Three little islands in a lake and their reflection in the morning lights.
















This lake looked so interesting for me I had to take a whole bunch of pictures there. Can you see why? Well maybe for you it is nothing special, but for me it was not such a common view that time. July 2009

another HDR picture in Sokndalstrand, July

Evje, Kilkefjord, July

So these were some of my favourites from that trip. Next time I will probably come with the pictures from the first weeks of my stay in Drammen.

The past

I was thinking where to start. I thought why not to post some pictures from the previous years I spent in Denmark as a short 'introduction'. So, here they are:

Well that's all for now, maybe later I will post some more from this period, because there are a lot more. But I would like to concentrate on the recent times now rather than the "old" days.

The begining

Dear reader!

This photoblog has been created to show off some of my pictures I am taking usually during my everyday life. Although most of the photographs are from trips and travellings, sometimes they are just taken inside my room, on the way to school or job, or wherever I get inspired by something.

I have already uploaded pictures to my deviantart and facebook account, but Orsi (my friend) has convinced me that they are either not so focused or only visible for friends.

I hope you will like it! All comments, critics and questions are more than welcome.
