Love how you can see the really urban buildings peeking through in the background…

A typical Oslo sight: landscape/nature mixed with some urban details.

Thanks Gav. Feels good to capture the ‘wow’ factor.

Gorgeous color and light.

Thanks Angeline. I had to take a few shots, because the artificial lighting in the waterfall kept going on and off.

i love the colors and the light!

Thanks Jen.

Wow – now where’s that atlas – would be good to know where exactly the Aker river is
October 10, 2012 at 08:42
It’s the river that divides Oslo. It ends up in the Oslo fjord next to the opera house.

Oslo is a beautiful city…
October 10, 2012 at 16:04
Some parts of Oslo, but there’s also dreadful, ugly and boring areas.

Here is Cape Town its like that, too. You have the lovely areas, the rough areas and the areas that are so dull you’d rather jump off a cliff than live there.

When I was in Cape Town the tourist guides were more eager to show us the lovely areas

Cape Town is great. I visited back in 2003-ish. Had a lot of fun!

That’s great! The weather at the moment is pretty good, too! Haven’t visited Norway yet but I really want to!

Nice long exposures!
October 10, 2012 at 19:55
Thanks. I saw in your blog that you like long exposures too

Magical shot, Cardinal. Understated and spectacular at the same time.
October 11, 2012 at 15:08
Understated and spectacular, thanks Richard. I guess this means that I’ve actually managed to capture an oxymoron on camera

Wow!!! Are you saying that *selva” is river in Norwegian?
October 13, 2012 at 16:22
No, ‘elva’ means ‘the river’ in Norwegian. The S in the word Akerselva is a genitive case.

Beautiful, but looks very dangerous!
November 23, 2012 at 03:45
This river is mostly dangerous for the fish: last summer the governmental run company that supplies Oslo with it’s drinking water managed to dump 6000 liters of concentrated chlorine into the river. Result? All the fishes, frogs and other marine life died instantly.

I’m not really sure what else they were expecting to happen, gah!
