Oslo, Norway

[opplevelse]

Autumn leaves, yellows, reds, greens ... Autumn in this part of Europe is simply stunning.

It was too nice a day to go to work ... so I called up the boss in the morning and said "It is too nice a day to come in, so I'm not going to ... see you tomorrow", then took the little one to the helsestajon (health station) to get weighed ... and took a few piccies on the way

Enjoy!

The graveyards in Norway are simply stunning ... immaculately prepared, cared for and are dotted throughout the city. I love to walk through them and find new things to capture.

If you are interested there are quite a few more here ...

certainly some lovely shots of the tree colours there

when is the average first day of snow for Oslo?

Not sure. Snow in October is not unusual, but nothing in downtown oslo this year yet ... there is quite a lot of snow falling over the hills right now, however, and that could drop to 200-300m on Monday, which might see some snow for the hills around Oslo ... at least the Troll thinks so.

While a few of those pics were taken with a circ polariser, the jpeg compression on resize seems to have made the colours a bit wrong. Look at the full sized versions to see what I mean.

My faves are the ones not taken with a polarising lens ... for example ...
