Journey (Weekly Photo Challenge)
“Share a picture which means JOURNEY to you!”
Recently I translated this travel article I wrote from Nepal. Now I’m on a journey to the French Alps, so I don’t have time to write. But I’ll leave you with these two photos from Oslo:

Both are brilliant!
DFDS … that was the line I travelled with to England back in 1983. Great to see they’re still around. [fick varma wienerbröd till frukost!]
The second one is really thought provoking. Love it..

The second one is a street-photo of some random guy waiting for the tram. I asked him if I could take a photo and he said: “Yes, as long as you’re not from a newspaper”.
I don’t know if DFDS still goes to England, but this particular ferry is the one that goes to Denmark.
Ønsker deg en riktig flott påske

Love the second one. Makes me think of those many occasions where you’re waiting during your journey – reading, people-watching, napping, eating, or queuing!

I quite like the second one too. I like the symbolism with the “5 minutes” sign on the glass.

Love the second one too! The waiting for departure theme, reminds me of your entry for the indulgence challenge

Thanks Madhu. The second one would have fitted perfectly for the “waiting” challenge that WordPress had earlier as well.

Lovely pictures…the sky in the first picture is breathtaking. I like the story surrounding the second picture…he is using his waiting time really well…at least he is not pacing up and down with impatience

Thank you Veeh. The sunset can create some really lovely colors – it all depends on the weather & sky conditions. Shot some great sunrise photos here in the French Alps this morning. I’ll post some of them later.
The guy was a great sport: he didn’t mind me taking a picture. I agree that he’s using his waiting time well.

Both lovely, but that black and white shot is terrific! Happy Easter!

Thanks Suburbanferndaleark (pheew, what a long nick-name).
God påske til deg også! – Happy easter to you too!

Both great photos. Have fun in the Alps and a safe journey.

Thanks! I needed that: We’re renting a car here, and some of the locals drive like maniacs on tiny mountain roads!

your header seems to feature, that you also made some interesting journeys through the landscapes of faces!

Thanks Frizzman, but this particular header consists of photos by German photographer Manuel Pandalis. I created this header out of a photo I shot at the annual Travel & Photo Exhibition 2012.

I love the pink clouds in the first one! We get those here too and they are my favourite
and the second one seems so thoughtful

The sunset & sunrise during winter can be really magical!

Dynamite header image, and the second in this seris of the man is beautiful!

Thanks Jennifer. The header image is from a photo exhibition by German photographer Manuel Pandalis. You have a lot of great photos in your blog. I’ll check it out more thoroughly later on, because right now I’m at work.

I love the colours in the first photo, kind of romantic… The second one is really great. It is as if he is taking a five minute break from his travels.

Thanks Maggie, I also like symbolism of the 5-miutes sign. The first one looks romantic, but it’s just Oslo. Like I wrote in your post “Journey to find the Ultimate Outhouse”: Looks can be so deceiving
