A mute swan ( Cygnus olor ) in the middle of a noisy lift-off at Østensjøvannet, Oslo. When processing this photo, I discovered that a nesting great crested grebe can be seen by the water's edge in the background, to the left in the photo. A nice surprise. :-) Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

I went to this place because I've noticed that a robin seems to hang out here often. Playing with shutter speeds is a nice way to pass time while waiting for a bird! :-) Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

At the lake Østensjøvannet in Oslo. Morning sun and partly clouded = perfect combination! Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

On the bridge connecting the old and the new part of Oslo Nikon D7000 + Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

There are many opinions on the new area in Oslo, but at least it's a great playground for photographers! Around and between the "barcode" buildings, there are lots of architectural details, lines, reflecting surfaces and other elements that can't easily be found elsewhere in Oslo.

Oslo central station Nikon D7000 + Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

I took this photo because of the beautiful colours on the leaves on the ground and in the trees, but for some reason I think it turned out much better in monochrome. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

That is the title of this statue ("solen og jorden"), created by Ørnulf Bast. It stands in a park by the central train station, much loved by pigeons and gulls and surrounded by construction projects. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

Got up early to catch the sunrise and the "golden hour" by the lake Østensjøvannet in Oslo before work. It was quite cloudy, though. Sometimes cloudy sunrises can be amazingly spectacular, but this morning was... well, just gray. Oh well, the light was still quite warm and soft and the lake was nice and calm -- and anyway, morning photography is definitely a good way to start the day!

Rådhusplassen, Oslo, Norway Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

While the indoor compartment of the boat is packed with people (on such gray days with "bad weather"...), it's nice to stand outside, peacefully overlooking the Oslofjord. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G Processed in UFRaw/Gimp
