Just one more post from the Opera House to get back on track again. I have been out of town for a few days, and I will tell you more about that in the upcoming posts. Stay tuned. This is a slightly different take on the oak panels covering the walls in the foyer area, again with the low angle of the sun emphasizing the pattern of the oak staves.
This is an image of the oak panels covering the walls in the foyer area. I like the way the low angle of the sun accentuates the pattern of the oak staves.
A detail from the installation "The Other Wall" by the danish-icelandic artist Ólafur Éliasson.​
This is from the foyer area of the Oslo Opera house. The image is taken from the wardrobe area, an the decoration lining the walls is the installation "The Other Wall" by the danish-icelandic artist Ólafur Éliasson.
This is from the roof of the building. I like the way the light emphasizes ​the braille like pattern on the metal plates covering the wall.
A couple of days ago I went downtown to visit the Oslo Opera House to make a few shots. The building designed by the architect firm Snøhetta (Wikipedia or company site) has quickly become popular destination for tourist visiting Oslo. The images for this panorama are taken from the end of the footbridge leading from the Central Station to the Opera House. The footbridge will be removed soon as the road beneath it has been closed.
Here is one from the archive. It stayed pretty cold for several days, and the ice crystals which formed on the snow surface in the freezing conditions reflected the light in a beautiful way. Hope you like it.
Back again after being more or less offline for various reasons over the past week. Here is an image I shot last summer. I enjoy the winter season and the light we get around mid winter, but I have to admit that I am looking forward to the summer season now.
A few more straws which caught my eye. I really like the textures and patterns created by the criss-crossing straws.
Winter can be very nice, but I needed a little hint of summer. I shot this image last summer. I was setting up the tripod and the camera when I noticed the bumble bee lifting from the flowers on the left. What I wanted was to have the bee on the flowers or near them. But after waiting for quite some time I gave up and settled for this one.
