City Lights: Oslo
Images from a photography enthusiast based in Oslo
Below are a handful of night shots taken downtown in Oslo. I am rarely in the city in the evening and, if I am, there is a good chance it isn’t actually dark (for at least half of the year) so I don’t often have the opportunity to capture city lights.
Most of these shots were taken back in late 2022/early 2023. They have been waiting patiently since then to be posted, in a folder labelled “city lights”. I thought I would certainly collect more images to add to the brood but it just hasn’t happened.
Now that we have passed the spring equinox, I realise there won’t be the opportunity to take night shots (well, shots in the “dark”) of the city for months and thought I should just go ahead and post these before it’s 2025 . . .
Thank you for scrolling through!
Thanks for your visit. Hope to see you next time!
Spring is just about to be upon us, so this should be a great time to visit (keep an eye out for the Apple and cherry trees blooming). Which general location are you staying? Don’t miss the waterfront, from the Rådhuset westward by asker Brygge and over through Tjuvjolmen by the Astrup Fearnley Musem and over to Filipstad Kai. Also on the water is Akershus Festning, walk into and up for a view from ramparts over the harbor, walk around the Bjørvika neighborhood, by Munch Museum and then by (and up on, and even in) the Opera and take the floating bridge over to Sørenga Kai. Check out Munch and the new National Museum (also Astrup Fearnley, there is a tiny sculpture area outside for free) if you dig art. There’s Ekebergparken, also with a large sculpture park and then views over the city if you like art. You can walk along Akerselva (near Kuba Patk and north). There’s the Slott and Slottsparken (for flowering trees). And more (but have to run so I’ll stop here). Where will you be and how long? Hope it’s a good visit. 😀
