Fishermen in Pipervika

Fishermen, enjoying the sunny day and hoping for a catch, on the pier that goes along Akershus Fortress. In the background you can see Aker Brygge.

Facade - Kyrre Grepps gate 30

A section of the facade at Kyrre Grepps gate 30, Torshov.

Karl Johans gate

Todays photo is taken from the north western end of Oslo's main street, Karl Johans gate, not far from the Royal Palace and Nationaltheatret. All along the pavement you can see those famous Ibsen Sitat.

Boys Play

Boys playing football at a field in the middle of the city. For some reason it made me think of Paris, as I  always seem to spot young guys play football or do some sort of sports there. Last time I was there I watched boys play hockey on roller skates in Parc de la Villette.

Bar Code

The Barcode Project seen from Middelalderparken (the medieval park).

Naturist

 

On a warm, beautiful summer day, take a trip to Bygdøy. The peninsula offers beaches and paths to walk. The most know beach is Huk, at Hukodden. If you are a naturist, adventurous or just curious, there is a naturist beach right next to it.. For my earlier post about Bygdøy, check out Ventus and Winter light.

Life is fantastic

LIFE IS FANTASTIC!! I have finally, FINALLY, handed in my master thesis! Now, I can get my life back, have some time off and hopefully get this blog up and running again. Today's photo, taken a while back (with this post in mind) at Jernbanetorget. Remember old post, of Oslo Sentralstasjon?

Facade: Theme Day

A beautiful Neo-Baroque building in Eckersbergs gate 17, Frogner, Oslo.

Kardemomme by

There are a few areas in Oslo with old wooden houses. Vålerenga is one, Fredensborg is another. This street and these houses made me think of Kardemomme by in Kristiansand Zoo. For those of you who are not familiar with Kardemomme by, check out Cardamom Town.

Something sweet and cold

Something sweet and cold for a warm summer night. I came across this little ice cream caravan in front of the Astrup Fearnley museum at Tjuvholmen.

Torshov kirkepark

This photo is taken some weeks ago, so the park must be a lot greener today than then. This is Torshov kirkepark, surrounded by colorful houses.

Munch 150 år

Remember my post, The Scream? Little did I know about the upcoming Munch Anniversary Exhibition "Munch 150". In addition to one big exhibition spread over two museums (The National Gallery and Munch Museum), there are lots of other events and exhibitions all over Norway. Here from Aker Brygge and more art in the open sphere.

The peacock

This is something I have been thinking of taking a photo of for a long time. Many years now I have walked past it on my way to and home from uni. I call it the peacock, and it is the fountain at the little place in front of the entrance to the train and subway station Nationaltheatret.

I feel fresh!

Today I have managed to pop out the office to enjoy a nice walk in the forest (yes, there are forests here in Oslo). I feel fresh! By the way, I can't believe I came across this small stream and waterfall. What a beautiful and serene spot! The path I walked is in the north east of the city, in Lillomarka.

Behind the camera.

Remember the photo, Mix? Well, here is from behind the sce.. camera.

Vår Frelsers gravlund

Along Ullevålsveien towards St. Hanshaugen you can stroll through the cemetery Vår Frelsers gravlund. Here from a very sunny morning a few days ago. Judging by today's grey and rainy weather, it feels like its a lifetime ago I took this photo..

Street art

In many places around Oslo you can spot some beautiful street art. Gamlebyen have just been appointed the new place for it, just check out today's news article, Gatekunstbydelen. Today's photo from a street close to St. Hanshaugen however, shows a bit more modest street art compared to the art in Gamlebyen.

Hot summer in the city

Today have been an absolute perfect summer day! Just too bad I've been stuck in the library writing a master thesis all day... Luckily for me our apartment is facing west so I got to enjoy the sun from the afternoon until it set. What a beautiful view!

Nasjonaldagen: Theme Day

Today is Norway's nasjonaldag (Constitution Day), AND it is one of CDP's National day theme days! Yeay! For those of you who have followed me for a while know I'm not originally from Oslo, I'm from Nedre Eiker, and that's where I am spending the National day this year. Since I'm not in Oslo today, I won't be able to take a photo of the celebrations, so I have posted a photo taken yesterday (by my classmate and photographer, Untiltled Hype Production). Every year, on 16th of May, all kindergarden and school kids are out practicing for the 17th of May parade. Here from the outside the french school in Oslo.

Drømmevogna

I'm dreaming. Of summer holiday. Of being done with my master thesis. If I had a caravan like this, I would just pack up and drive away for a weekend or two. Only 3 more weeks now.
