Traces of Frost

Appart from a few days now and then, frost has not dominated the first part of this winter season. It has been quite mild for this time of year, and the weather has reminded me of autumn rather than winter. But over the Holidays we had a bit of frost, and out and about with my camera I came across this pond with these ice patterns. And since then we have even had a little snow, so perhaps we will have a bit of winter after all.

Modern Architecture

Downtown Oslo, next to the Oslo Opera House, you will find a group of high-rise buildings called the Barcode Project. Hailed as a good example of modern architecture by many, by others viewed as an obstacle between the city and the fjord. I have to admit that I am not very enthusiastic about these buildings. They are nice from far away, but far away from nice.
