Oh yes, there is a pyramid in Norway too. Who would have thougt that... But in fact this is a monument i Stavern. Wikipedia tells us the following: Minnehallen or Hall of Remembrance is a national memorial located outside Stavern in Larvik, Vestfold, Norway. The memorial was commissioned by the Norwegian Parliament after World War I to commemorate the fallen Norwegian sailors of the war. It was unveiled by King Haakon VII and was later converted to the national monument commemorating fallen sailors of both World War I and World War II. The monument itself is a pyramid of locally quarried rock and is designed by two architects from Oslo, Andreas Hesselberg Bjercke (1883-1967) and Georg Christen Eliassen (1880-1964). Nic Schiøll has made a relief describing the lives and fate of the sailors as well as a decoration in the crypt. Copper tablets display the names of 1,892 sailors who died during World War I and 3,456 names of sailors who died in World War II. In addition, three protocols contain the names of 5,667 sailors. The interior of the hall is visited by some 20,000 people every year. www.facebook.com/peter.vanlom Lonely Man Photography © All Rights Reserved. Made it to EXPLORE frontpage.

Well, this is anno 1928. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Krossobanen is an aerial tramway in Rjukan, Norway, and was the first of its kind in Northern Europe. It was built in 1928 by Bleichert as a gift from Norsk Hydro to the people of Rjukan (most of them Hydro employees), offering them a view of the sun which is obscured by the surrounding mountains during the winter months from October to March. The horizontal distance between the lower and the upper station is 814 meters and the difference in altitude is 495 meters, which yields an average incline of 0.6: 1 (in other words, it climbs 60 centimeters for each meter traveled). www.facebook.com/peter.vanlom Lonely Man Photography © All Rights Reserved.

In july 2012, Vardø hosted the world's most northern street art festival, curated by the artist Pøbel - KOMAFEST -. The purpose was to conceptualize the depopulation of northern Norway. Three years later I tried to capture this art. At least most of the work. Some were already painted over and some I just did not find.

This is one of my favorite monochrome edits from last summer. The church in Skien, Telemark. Just trying out ways of editing. Software: PSE12, PhotomatixEssentials, Silver Efex Pro. Lonely Man Photography © All Rights Reserved. Made it to EXPLORE frontpage.

Travel and see new things. Or; look around and find new angles. The next uploads will be monochrome edits. Some will be new uploads and some will be reedited photographs. I hope that the comming monochrome 'period' will be received favorably. This is a photograph of the library in Tromsø and the RAW file is processed with PSE12.

Travel and see new things. Or; look around and see new angles. It is time to upoad something different now. Architecture and some extreme editing. One is never too old to try some thing new.

This time it is an image that never became popular on Panoramio. But it fits nicely together with my first upload on Ipernity. Only this is a view of the newer part of Tromsø center. The library on the left and the cinema/town hall on the right. Also the hdr editing technique is comparable to my first upload. Lonely Man Photoagraphy © All Rights Reserved.

This is my first image on Ipernity. This picture became quite popular on Panoramio, 500px and 1x. So I hope it is received well on this platform too. I look forward to meet many of my 'old' and 'new' friends here. This picture is taken in the old part of Tromsø during the winter of 2013.
