Not sure this is entirely comfortable….the lighting and the lone figure, well composed!

Beautiful photo! I also have a picture to look beyond: http://huidinfo.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/weekly-photo-challenge-beyond/

Very nice shot!

I like how futuristic it looks, like the hallways in Stargate Universe! What lies beyond the bend…beyond the walls?
fascinating photo!

Thanks!
Spoiler: Behind the bend there’s a lot of trains.

I like it!!!
January 21, 2013 at 15:52
Yes, it does…. What kind of space is this?
January 21, 2013 at 16:17
It’s an ugly bridge going from Oslo Central Station to the Opera house.
January 25, 2013 at 14:37
Ugly bridge, ugly neon lights, a terrific spoiler and a crack shot !!!
January 26, 2013 at 00:02
I like the reflections on the surfaces. Is this under a bridge or something?
January 21, 2013 at 18:08
It’s a temporary bridge leading people from the central station to the opera house in Oslo.

Love the image. Good lines. Great color.
January 21, 2013 at 19:19
That is terrific for ‘beyond’!!! Your eyes are really drawn into the picture, by those lines..
January 21, 2013 at 19:24
Excellent shot! It almost looks mysterious. Makes you want to find out what’s beyond that bend.
January 21, 2013 at 20:51
Nice shot, Cardinal!

Thanks for all your comments. I’ll write some replies in the not too distant future. Hectic days lately (as always).

Great shot, but I wouldn’t like to be walking alone there.

The bridge is between the central train station and the opera house. There’s a lot of junkies in the area, but now there are less of them because it’s winter. The police have also chased some of them away (they used to hang around at a adjacent park). I believe Oslo is somewhere on the top of the “most junkies per capita” list.
Currently (the last decade) there’s been a lot of construction in the area as well, so it’s not very nice – but it’s getting better.
January 25, 2013 at 13:59
A perfect choice!!

Love the perspective here. Someone else mentioned that it looks futuristic, and it certainly does have almost a Bladerunner feel to it – I need to watch that movie again!

Hopefully they’ll finish the construction work in the area some day and remove this temporary bridge, but the area has been in development for the last 13 years and they still have a lot of construction plans there… Norwegians are unbelievably slow and they hardly accomplish anything when it comes to projects like these.
We should have hired some chinese to do it, they would have gotten the whole area done in 3 years for 1/10 of the price.

That reminds me – I will need to walk down to our Victoria Bridge, the took down just part of it, the part that connects it from the road to the part that is over water because it’s not safe to drive on. They didn’t just demolish the whole thing though because it’s going to cost too much. They said that “some day” they will demolish it and build a new one. So I hear you, we take a long time to do things too. I don’t even know how long it’s been taking them to complete the freeway, I stopped paying attention, I hate the freeway.

Call the Chinese, they’ll have it up and running in about a week!
February 25, 2013 at 22:45
But they’d expect money! We aren’t American

I like the hint of color in this image. Ugly space, but a nice photo of it.
February 22, 2013 at 01:33
There’s a lot of construction in that area, so it’s all in all pretty disgusting and will continue to be like that for the next years.

It is interesting to me how spaces like that can sometimes produce beautiful pictures. It’s a bit counterintuitive.
February 23, 2013 at 14:02
Yes it is. The picture is much nicer than the horrible place itself.
