Bull-horn cruiser

Anita and I ran into this guy at Hovefestivalen in 2007. Not sure what he was doing with the bull-horn, but it sure got into the wrong hands.

Other photo: Taken at the camp site. “Bull-horn-guy, wanted dead.” Someone was using it all through the night, rendering everyone sleepless.

Store Sandungen

The track preparation machine has left it’s mark on the ice at Sandungen, Nordmarka, north of Oslo. Very few cross-country skiers were to be found this day in January, perhaps on account of the strong winds hurling snow everywhere. To take this photo, I had to get right onto the ice, as low as possible. When getting up, I noticed that my body heat had melted some of the ice, which had then frozen again and left parts of my jacket and trousers stuck to the ice.

After a wedding at St. Donats Castle, Wales, all that is left from the day’s festivities is a bunch of confetti.

Well, Clarice – have the lambs stopped screaming?

Block2

At Dønski, some apartment buildings were laying there, abandoned, for years. However, there was strong opposition against using the flats as temporary housing for asylum seekers.

The only thing worse than an ugly building, is a building with no people in it.

British wedding

Four ladies take a breather in the gardens during a wedding at St. Donats Castle, south Wales, UK.

Block

The Norwegian word for apartment building, “blokk”, is very descriptive, leaving little room for rounded corners or soft features. This construction by Selvaagbygg, opened in 1968, reflects the socialist ideas of that time. Although they were meant to function as “little houses in a cluster”, they now remain a dominant feature in the landscape south of Kolsås. Especially when photographed in black and white, these buildings belittle their inhabitants. Perhaps though, in colour, they may actually be warm and welcoming places to live?

Cold, cold, cold
