Pipervika Boat Vignette

Along the Akershusstranda pathway, under the Akershus fortress, next to the Inner Oslofjord in Oslo, I found this cool boat vignette.  Pipervika stands as a well-liked district within Oslo, forming a connecting link between Aker Brygge and Akershus Fortress. 

While processing in Lightroom, it became difficult to settle on one of many composition possibilities.  Like my November 27 “Composition of Compositions” post, I decided on composing and posting the composition of compositions version.

Night at the Museum

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

Meet Peter. You may recognise him from other posts of mine. He’s a Zoologist . and works at Norways Natural History museum. Long story short. a group of friends and I talked him into doing a guided tour of the museum when it was closed. He met us at the door looking like Richard Attenborough in Jurrasic Park. Needless to say we had a wonderful evening.

The Restaurant Owner

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

Down in the harbour area in Oslo there is a little restaurant called Fenaknoken  that specialises in cured meat and smoked fish etc. Their smoked salmon is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The restaurant itself is a place where you write your name on the tables just to let others know you’ve been there. The father sold the restaurant to his son (Pictured here) but still works for his son serving and greeting customers.

Camp Barentz Svalbard

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

A few years ago before Covid I took a week’s holiday on Svalbard. This is from the first evening we arrived. We had a great meal in the large tent you see in front of you and, were ,among other things shown how to spot a Polar Bear. We had a great week but didn’t see one (Except stuffed).Next year we hope to return so maybe then we’ll get to see one.
