Barcode, Oslo, seen from Gamlebyen.
The old city vs the new. Quite a contrast. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/contrasts/
EDIT: Upon posting I received a message that this is the 500th post in this blog. I should have planned something spectacular for post #500, but it took me by surprise. Now you’ll have to wait ’till post #1000 to hopefully see something spectacular 🙂

Congratulations! 🙂
Ha en fin helg, håper det tørker opp i Oslo snart…
Takk Dina. Det har vært mye regn. I går var det visstnok rekord. Vi får håpe at været bedrer seg.
love this! and congrats on #500! quite a milestone 😀
Thanks. It came as a surprise! Some posts ago I was thinking about posting something special for post #500, but then I forgot all about it…
Congratulations on #500, Cardinal, and another good choice for the prompt. Enjoy the weekend.

Thanks Janet. I wish you a wonderful weekend too!
And what great clouds rolling in over the contrast! Congrats on your half-century of top hits Cardinal!
Congratulations, Cardinal! Looking forward to the 1000th now.
Congratulations to #500 Cardinal. All of your posts are special and beautiful thought.
Congratulations, Cardinal!!
Nice contrast for the challenge.
Lovely! A blend of old and new is perfect for the big 500. 🙂
This is an interesting photo. Don’t know what I like better: the old/new buildings, or that fluffy band of clouds overhead. Great photo for this challenge, the contrast seems so seamless. I had to take a second look at your photo. And I thought I saw the slightest hint of a rainbow to the left…
Congrats on your 500th post, Cardinal 🙂
Max, this is decent enough for 500 :). I still have a long way to go. How many have you published on your “lesser” blog? 😉
440 in the other, but there I almost never write anything, so it’s quicker and easier: My other blog is like a one-night stand, while this one is more of a relationship.
Well, I am active on both 🙂
Yes you are and I’,m grateful for that. Thank you Paula!
Happy 500! Like many good things, we often end up enjoying their importance after the fact!
I really like the contrast and the gradation of pale color fading into almost monotone in the buildings from front to back.
Congrats on your 500th, CG. Lovely image. 🙂
And just how far are we though the Greek dick of cards? Congrats, takes stamina !
That reminds me that I have to set up the next posts. It’s automatically posting each Sunday, but I’ve only made drafts until mid-July…
Striking contrast in architectural styles Cardinal. Congratulations on the 500!
Snyggt. Grattis! Jag tror inte vi behöver vänta så länge som till 1000
Stunning capture! Those clouds look wicked, almost as if they’re about to transform into something monstrous! And congrats on #500 – quite an accomplishment!
Wonderful photo Cardinal. A definite and not unexpected contrast in styles. I’d take a stroll throughout he old city first though.
Ahihihi … This photo, and the find of such location, is very interesting enough for a 500th hoopla. 😀
Congratulations on your 500th! Great image too! I love the color contrast.
Thanks for all the comments.
Crazy busy days lately, so I haven’t had time to reply to comments, post new stuff and read blogs. I’ll hopefully manage a comeback sometime next week.
Great perspective!
Good contrast – and what an amazing sky!
Great image, screams contrast in many ways. I see traditional and modern, hard and soft, man-made and nature, plus a bunch of contrasting textures. I guess, not bad for your 500th posts, though I get that you want something spectacular – perhaps some kind of milestone cover or event or a look-back or top list of some sort. Well then, let the count down begin for post 1000th 🙂
Thanks for this nice comment Aian. A milestone event with a top list, the best photos or something similar was exactly what I was thinking about… The countdown to 1000 has begun (and hopefully I’ll remember it when the time comes).
