I captured this cool mooring rope at the Bygdøynes ferry landing near the FRAM Museum in Oslo, Norway. For the best viewing experience, click to view a high resolution version.

Bear

We have bears in the woods in Norway. However it’s a lot safer to see them at  a safari park. There in lies my personal dilema, I feel so sorry for the Bears. They turn up on time for feeding and hundreds of people gather to watch. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t want to meet a bear on the trail. But if I did it would no doubt be just as scared as me…Hopefully.

 

Oslo Opera House

Home of the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, the Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta won the design competition to build a new opera house in the city. Completed in 2007, the Opera House won the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona in October 2008 award.


The building resembles a glacier flowing into the Oslofjord inlet. The white granite structure invites pedestrians to walk up and enjoy a panoramic view of Oslo from the roof. The strong lines and angular shape were an architectural photographer’s dream.
