A Fountain and Many Buildings in Oslo
Architecture in the Norwegian Capital
My last photos from Oslo are a collection of buildings, structures, plus a fountain thrown in for good measure. Norwegian architecture is also featured in many of my other posts.
It is natural to photograph the pretty and the interesting, while leaving the mundane and banal unrecorded. I enjoyed my time in Norway and really enjoyed the Norwegians I met. These images include what struck me about Oslo, a city that I did not find extremely attractive overall. That said, Oslo is an amazingly fun and interesting place with so much to offer, I would recommend a visit to anyone interested in art, the sea, exploration, Vikings, or the simple joy of hanging out with friendly Norwegians.
The central fountain in Vigeland Park. Check out the tiles along the base that each tell a story.
Nationaltheatret - The National Theatre, a center for the dramatic arts, features many architectural styles and has a Greco-Roman facade.
The Oslo City Hall (Oslo rådhus) building is one of the least attractive structures in the Norwegian capital but it is surround by, and contains, a great deal of lovely art.
A typical commercial street with orderly cafe umbrellas opposite a park.
This unique building houses the Storting (Stortinget), the Norwegian parliament. Although built to house two chambers, the Norwegian government became fully unicameral in 2009.
The roof of the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art takes on many aspects from many angles. It is modern, alluring, and striking.
The razor edge of this castle wall is beautiful and mysterious. Is it more decorative than defensive? It is probably in the Akershus Fortress.
I only visited Oslo and Svalbard. I look forward to returning to Norway and seeing much more of the country.

The pictures are pretty interesting. The architecture is quite good. I would like to visit Oslo during my trip to Europe.
Thank you. Definitely check out Oslo on your next Europe trip.

Great architecture photos. Upvoted and resteemed
Thank you!
It's quite obvious that Norway represents something important to you and you make us see it through your photos. I think it's a beautiful country and sometimes photos don't transmit the energy you should feel when you're in a great place and don't let you feel the people around you. But somehow you did it. Muy bien, nuevamente amigo. Saludos
Thank you so much, @sabreu A very kind and deeply thought out complement. Your English is excellent, by the way. Digame sobre su apellido, migo. Parece Frances, tal vez?
Thank you my friend. I think I still need some practice with my english.
