OSLO MAY 2010!!

A personal favourite of mine & without doubt one of the most beautiful, yet underrated cities on the planet...

Great photos! I guess you like art since you did the effort visiting Henie-Onstad Art Centre.

Thanks guys, glad you like them!

I am quite into art I suppose. When I lived in Oslo, Henie-Onstad was a place I wen't to regularly, as was Veiglands Park.

They both bring back good memories...

Cool, so you have lived in the city before. May I ask what you think about the latest developments by the fjord?

I think the developments overall all pretty positive, despite complaints on this forum that there not tall enough etc.

It reminds me slightly of the waterfront developments happening in Liverpool at the moment.

My only critisism however, is that all the buildings are quite blocky & that there needs to be some more organic shaped structures in there somewhere. But maybe I'll change my mind once the development is complete etc.

About living in Oslo, well... it was back in the 80's & I was very young at the time. I still remember much of my time there though!

I have LOADS of Oslo pics from the 80's, although I didn't take any of them.

At some point I'll have a good look through them & maybe select a few for this forum.

Please do. I'd love to see areas like Grünerløkka and Grønland from back then. Also small sidestreets, rare shops etc. (if wishlists are allowed)
