I just love this place, it's the same place where the graffiti I posted earlier is. Wish Oslo would get even more of this, it's just a small area here where
the street art is so great quality...

This little area basically is proof to me that graff/streetart can be really great if the artists are allowed to spend some time (and got some skills).
Some of the art seems to change regularly, other art has been there for many years now (because it's quite good).

Oslo is so lovely!

I guess I kind of like contrasts. So - from the street art above, to almost the complete opposite. A few photos of Oslo's "clean" neo-classisist Royal Palace.

A beutiful Palace indeed. Seems to be a nice place to enjoy the sun.

Thanks for your comments, Tourniquet!

I'll be bold enough to add a couple of my own photos. These will soon be posted in my own thread with Oslo photos, and are part of a little photowalk project I'm working on now.

A little street "Snippen" in the wooden house neighborhood of Rodeløkka (Rodelokka). Rodelokka is like a village hidden behind more normal size apartment buildings in mostly all directions.
Note also that this is a very unknown place for tourists, they are almost never seen here, even if this place can give a good impression of the old Oslo.



Close by the Sofienberg park.

Great photos!

I just can say that I LOVE the architecture and the style of the city: it's chic, cozy, charming, sober, elegant, almost shy, but undeniable beautiful.

There's a few quite scary statues here too, this is one of them. They
often have this reptile theme - lol, come to think of it David Icke would have a field day of joy in this park
