Oslo

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.

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.

Cheers,
