A typical January Sunday
Winters in western Norway are not as snowy and white as the postcards would have you believe – in fact, they’re rather wet! This Sunday, however, there was a brief break between the showers and I took The Poodle and my camera out for a walk around my tiny city. I love how even the most event-free Sunday can still bring a nice shot or two, even though it was a bit hard to hold the camera steady with a tiny dog pulling me in every direction. I did my best!
I tend to take the most photographs during spring and summer, but ultimately it is the rain and the fog that are the characteristic features of Bergen. I always feel so dishonest when I look through my photo folders and every photo is from a perfect sunny day, but then again – that’s life I guess, just like there are no bad hair days on Facebook ;)
Så koselige bilder! Tenk, jeg har aldri vært i Bergen! Det bør jeg gjøre noe med…
Bergen er en kjempekoselig by, anbefales varmt fra meg ihvertfall! :)
Du tar gode bilder. Også er jeg glad i Nygårdshøyden. Men at du har gått tur med den skjønne hunden, og ikke fotografert den… det vet jeg ikke hva jeg synes om ;)
Tro meg, jeg prøvde! Gammelt kamera med lav ISO + dårlig lys + puddel i konstant bevegelse = oransje svosj med snute på alle bildene ;)
hahahaha, ja, det tenkte jeg ikke på
It’s beautiful! :-)
I often curse western Norway for the weather, but the truth is I would really miss it if I were to move away. It certainly has its charm, and I love to be just a few minutes away from walking up a mountain :)
Bergen looks beautiful. Cities built right up against nature have such an allure.
I think it would be a real challenge for me to live in a city that wasn’t close to nature, I’ve had ocean and mountains around me all my life :)
I like how colourful the houses are! It’s always incredible to see cities/towns from around the world, so similar yet so different…
I know, right? They all have the same basic structure, but the devil is in the details. I love to study the architecture whenever I visit a new city :)
Thank you for the Bergen photos, I have enjoyed the previous ones too. I have friends there & love the city! Always rainy (when I’m there) but the rainclouds against mountainsides looks so dramatic and cool!
You’re right, it does look very dramatic! And I love the fog :)
Fine bilder av en flott by!
Takker og bukker MoKath! :)
Such charming photos. You’ve reminded me that I should wander around more with my camera.
It is funny, no matter how boring one’s everyday surroundings seem they always get a little bit more interesting when you’ve brought a camera. I know I start seeing things a little differently though a lens :)
Love the photos even if they are kinda gloomy. But its gloomy everywhere in the Northern hemisphere anyway.
Thanks Joy! The gloomy atmosphere is kind of unavoidable around these parts. There’s no coincidence that one of my country’s biggest exports is black metal – it is a perfectly natural consequence of our surroundings ;)
