I run a Monthly Photo Challenge called The Changing Seasons. The photos in this gallery were shot in June.
For those who don’t know, «The Changing Seasons» is a monthly photo challenge with a few basic guidelines. I started the challenge in January with photos that I shot in December. Summer has finally arrived here, so the temperatures are good and the people seem happy. Oslo isn’t such a bad place to live during summer. I must admit that I didn’t shoot a lot of photos of Oslo last month, but I did share plenty in the previous post in this series…

This baguette looks like shit…
If you feel like joining this challenge, these are the guidelines:
- Find a location near your home. Each month take somewhere between 5-20 photos and post them in a gallery in your blog (I’ll post mine on the 7th, but you can choose your own publishing date).
- Tag your posts with #MonthlyPhotoChallenge and #TheChangingSeasons (this makes it very easy for others to follow the challenge using the WordPress reader if your blog is running in the WordPress platform).
- Don’t use photos from your archive. Only new shots.

haha this baguette looks like shit.
I was walking by, wearing my sunglasses and struggling with a serious hang-over. Suddenly I stopped and thought: “What?!? Was that a turd I just saw on that poster??!? Really?”
The turd looking baguette totally caught me off guard.
haha i can see it so clearly.
Haha… Agree with listentothebabe. Sköna bilder…
Thank you Malin. Jeg fikk ikke tatt så mange bilder av Oslo i juni: hadde så mye annet å gjøre og plutselig var det juli!
Tiden går för fort… Alldeles för fort. Sen är man plötsligt gammal. 😉
Skremmende….
Apart from the baguette, everything looks like supreme! Great weather and totally different atmosphere. Love the reflections.
It’s a nice atmosphere in Oslo during the summers. The reflection shot is my favorite in this gallery too.
everything/-body looks relaxed and calm – introduction to the holiday season. and, of course, you made me laugh with those baguettes. I love the reflection at the opera and its presentation in BW.

Thanks Klara and thanks for introducing me to yarn bombing!
Very cool city you live in, looks pretty dazzling in the summer. I really thought that was a turd they were selling…I wonder apart from you and the others in the comments, do any of those in your area think that way 😀 Enjoy the sunshine, Cardinal, and make the most of summer.
Oslo is definitely a summer city. There’s not much happening here during the winters. I never buy baguettes because I can’t eat gluten, but perhaps I can ask them if their shit is gluten free the next time I pass by? 🙂 Hehe. Enjoy your winter there on the other side Miss Mabel!
First of all I love the reflections!
But they all show the summer atmosphere of a northern city!
I love the reflections too, but it’s a great set. Rank baguette.
the baguette poster is funny 🙂 summer in the city!
Qué maravilla de sitio! el verano y el buen tiempo se respira en las fotos y parece un sitio estupendo para vivir.
Bueno la barra de pan la olvidaríamos…
Beautiful sunshine images CG. It’s so different to your early posts from Winter. And so interesting to see the differences between day shots here and your previous night shots. I’m not going to comment on the baguette 😝 but I love the reflections at the opera shot, it’s gorgeous.
So much sunshine sparkle in these great shots Cardinal, everyone looks relaxed and easy.
I run around the blogosphere like a total nitwit, trying to catch up, Cardinal. Sorry that I don’t succeed. You always have fine offerings. 🙂
I do catch up from time to time too: “binge visits” is my style.
The street art is wicked cool! Creatively placed and awesomely painted.
You are a master of the night time shots, but I like these daytime images! Pastel warmth!
Oslo sure seems like a lovely summer city! One day I _will_ go to Norway.
I failed this challenge so miserably — think the winter we had threw me off. There’s still snow left in the big pile, down at the wharf! Next year …
Some really nice impressions.
reflections at the Opera is AWESOME… you have some really awesome locations there for street photography… gorgeous set from sunny Oslo, Cardinal 🙂
Thanks Alexandra. The Opera shot is the only one that I’m satisfied with. The rest of them are just simple clicks. I didn’t really feel any inspiration this last month and we only had a few good, sunny days when I could fit photographing into my schedule.
I can see why you are happy with the shot… it’s kinda abstract and so futuristi… the lines and tones are perfect… do you have any more shots from that location… it’s great for portrait, candid and architecture…!!
Yes, I do!

it all looks so wonderfully light! Love the street art and the opera house reflections.
Nice pics, nice weather! Now I recognized it, I was in the Opera building!
Lovely photos as usual, Oslo is beautiful in the summer. The b&w of the Reflections at the Opera is my favorite. And the Baguette photo made me laugh.
Finally got my post up at http://ceceliafutch.com/2015/07/12/monthly-photo-challenge-north-chagrin-reservation-july/

Love this gallery! There’s something about street art that hits my heart in an awesome way…such color and vibrancy among hard angles and shades of grey.
We all need some color in our lives and it can really help to liven up urban spaces.
Oslo is really beautiful in summertime. Reminds me actually of some mediterranean places 🙂 Lovely gallery, as always.

Just noticed while linking season 8 that season 7 wingback isn’t showing up here. Here is the link: http://luciledegodoy.com/2015/07/26/the-changing-seasons-7/
It didn’t show up because I have to approve pingbacks before they’re visible in the blog. It’s there now. I’ll look at your entries later today. 🙂
Got it. Thanks. However, lately my pingbacks are not showing in other blogs very often and vice versa. Hence I started also adding links in the comments to be in the safe side.
Thanks, Max. Have a good day.
