A day in Oslo – part 2
This is the continuation of yesterdays post where I went around in Oslo on my bike and pictured things, not paying attention to photographic nerdy stuff like composition, cropping or anything else.
All these photos were shot on Saturday 02 June in Oslo as a project inspired by Miss/Mrs Rosso over at the dailypost.wordpress.com.

Vår Frelsers gravlund is a cemetery in Oslo, Norway, located north of Hammersborg in Gamle Aker district. (wiki)
Vår Frelsers Gravlund was created in 1808 as a result of the great famine and cholera epidemic of the Napoleonic Wars. Its grounds were extended in 1911. The cemetery has been full since 1952. (wiki)
Dead people live here.
The cemetery is known primarily for Æreslunden, Norway’s main honorary burial ground.

Edvard Munch, 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter and printmaker. One of his most well-known works is The Scream of 1893.

I like all the artwork, I won’t call it graffiti, in Hausmania
June 3, 2012 at 13:07
Yes, there’s some great grafitti there. All the landlords and shop owners in the neighborhood are complaining about it, because a lot of people that use the grafitti wall also spray their tags on shops and buildings nearby.

Thanks for the Oslo tours. Looks like a place I’d like to visit one day.
June 3, 2012 at 13:08
No problem! There’s still one more post to come.
You’re welcome here anytime. I’ll gladly show you around!
June 3, 2012 at 14:33
You’ve inspired me. I’m going to do this…candid shots with no processing of any kind…on my next trip into a city setting.

Great! But the credit goes to Sara Rosso. Her weekly photo challenge “Today” inspired me in the first place

You had fun, this is what is most important
I like the cemetery you’ve shown.

Another great gallery! I love the angel at the graveyad.
June 3, 2012 at 21:50
There’s lots of nice graves there. Could probably have written an own post dedicated to the graves.

Love the grafitti. Looks like you had a long ride. Thanks for sharing.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

The ride wasn’t long in kilometers (Oslo is just a village on steroids) but it took some time because I had to stop here and there to shoot photos.
June 4, 2012 at 09:13
This is such a great series – love the variety of it. Hausmania looks very interesting.
June 4, 2012 at 08:49

I would like that…until then pictures and words can take us through the city..
June 5, 2012 at 09:11
It would have been cool to meet some bloggers and show them around.
In the meantime we’ll keep posting photos.
June 5, 2012 at 09:22
ditto on that
June 5, 2012 at 09:45
Great to get to take this trip around Oslo! So many different areas and environments. The allotments look nice … those little wooden houses!
June 4, 2012 at 21:42
Still there’s many places that I haven’t covered. I guess I’ll post some similar posts later to cover other parts of the city as well.
As I was riding through the city it crossed my mind that I should write a post about Akershus Fortress.
June 5, 2012 at 08:06
Wow lots of artfully captured moments again, thanks for sharing!
