Btw thanks to you and muster for being some of the first Norwegian posters in the thread besides myself. I'd like to again mention that you're welcome to add pics yourself - I'm in no way the best "picture hunter" around, so yeah.. Post away if you find something good!

Two nice photos from the "European skylines" thread, no doubt worth posting here too.

Juarolcross, Yes we do have some similarities in the landscapes between Norway and Chile.. Well at least the mountains and some likeness in the coasts. But your mountains are much higher, though.

You're welcome, Norway IS a very beautiful country, with mythical, mysterious nature in many places.

Great thread. I've always liked Oslo. Most parts are actually quite pretty.

More photos, most are from the Facebook group for Oslo photos.

Street in the district Vålerenga



And now, a few photos from the areas of protected forest outside Oslo. Some of these pictures are from outside the county of Oslo, but still in the same continuous forested area that make up the 'extended' protected forests of Oslo. Most of these are from oslomarka.net.

Krokskogen



Waterfall in Asker



Sundvollen in Buskerud county (this is quite a bit outside Oslo, but part of the extended areas of forest outside Oslo)



In the vicinity of the place known as Sinober, and Sinober-Kwai



Close by the lake called Oppkuvvann

Post away buddy!

Just one small note, nice to have a space between pictures! I usually use 2 enter-spaces between each pic to get a nice spacing. Other than that, it's nice pics and I would not mind at all if you posted more.

Special topic post

The "Akerselva Atrium" office building was finished in 2009, and although it is only 37 meters high, it was a nice, modern/contemporary addition to its neighbourhood.
