Through the door...

Grünnerløkka



And who says Norwegians don't have a sense of humour?

Ute på Frogner

Vigelandparken! How touristy of me.

Aker Brygge

Jeg er utrolig glad i Aker Brygge. Det blir ennå bedre når været er litt varmere..

Fredrikstad

The weather is absolutely terrible in Fredrikstad, but it seems like a nice city.

Været er utrolig dårlig i Fredrikstad, men det virker som en koselig by. Når begynner vår?

Oslo February Potpourri

There usually aren't that many people at Storting t-bane station for the first Sunday train.




"Jippi" is the same as "yippee". Someone had a good time with this apartment block, that is completely covered in this cloud pattern.




You might not love the snow, but it loves you.

February Snowfall

Blindern!

January Sunset in Bergen

Sogsvann in Winter

We've had a deal of snow in the past couple of days. The birch forests of Sognsvann, just north of my apartment, is a mecca for the Oslo cross-country skiers (and there is a good deal of them!!). Oslo has a really great feel in the winter - there are people in their ski gear on the metro all the time, the Christmas markets are up and running, and there are lights everywhere.

Red Sky at Night, Sailors' Delight

Oslo has had some really amazing sunsets in the past while. Though really the sun seems to be already setting as soon as it rises.

Jeg tenker på Bergen..når det regner.

A Room with a View

A day of dense fog, taken around 14:00 from my apartment.

I'm in Oslo for a reason.

On most weekdays, I spend my days in libraries writing and researching my thesis.

This is the Deichmanske Bibliotek - Oslo public library.


This is the view from the library of Norges Handelhøyskole. It is in a new building in the neighbourhood of Nydalen. It is a maze of pedways, stairs, and escalators that go up four floors at a time.

Around Oslo, Part I

The interior of the Norwegian Parliament. They sit according the geographic location, not parties.

Sognsvann

One train stop after my stop (Kringsjå) is Sognsvann. It is a popular lake to walk around and swim in during the summer months.

Pious Lutherans

The skyline of Bergen is largely dominated by the dozens of churchs, which range from the ancient to the super modern.

Sandvikskirken


Bergen only has one catholic church, this one - St. Paulskirke.

Wildlife

Norway is known for its dangerous, sometimes ferocious, wildlife. I have maganed, at great personal peril, to assemble some shots of these beasties.
