Some night views of Drammen and Oslo

Before the winter shots, let me show you some pictures I took after sunset. I have visited most of these places first in the daylight and I thought they would look way better during the night, using longer exposure times, capturing movements and lights. Some looks great all the time, while others just catching attention when you see them in such lighting conditions.







On these pictures you can see the Ypsilon bridge, a cable stayed pedestrian bridge, which crosses the Drammenselvan river. It was built in 2007, together with that building in the background (called Papirbredden), which is actually my recent school and gives place to the public library as well.

Take a closer look on the building. It really looks stunning with that reflection, doesn't it?






Lets move to Oslo now. Or should I say "under" Oslo? This escalator surrounded by neon light walls which are constantly changing their color takes you down to the Nydalen T-bane station.

Some statues on the square in front of the City Hall

In front of VG's press building, you can read the daily news in the company of a demonstrative statue.

An interesting statue next to Oslo trainstation.

And finally, let me finish this entry with my beloved building, the Opera House

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.
/picture: Rådhuset - City Hall/

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.
