Antti, Norway: First impressions

Hi,

Greetings from Oslo! We, me and Jari, have been here from Wednesday 11th September. Anne and Helene from Lent kindly transferred us from the airport to our nice two-rooms apartment in Carl Berner.

On Thursday they told us what they expect about our photos and we told them about our hopes and expectations. We ate there a versatile delicious lunch and after that we were free to go shoot photos outside. Jari is shooting almost everywhere almost everything almost all the time... so you have to wait for seeing his photos for a while.

We noticed that it was a good choice to travel here a couple days earlier than we first planned. The weather was surprisingly warm and sunny the first three days, after that it has been mostly cloudy and today also rainy. And there was "Oslo Kulturnatt" -happenings on Friday and lots of interesting to see just near Lent too. There was for example free entrance to Nobel Peace Center and its impressive exhibitions, we were there until the closing time at 11 pm.

Earlier in Friday evening we were invited to eat excellent sea food from Lofoten for free on a sailing ship although there was a label "VIP only with a ticket"... because there was lots of food remaining. We thought that we´ll buy some Lofoten fish but their payment terminal didn´t accept either of our bank cards (although they had worked in other places), so they gave us two packages of salmon for free!! Jari noticed how our Heavenly Father looked after us :-).

Here is a bit miscellaneous set of my photos from Oslo. They can be seen in bigger size also here.

Jari´s professional-looking photography style ;-). In our first shooting day we didn´t take our big camera backpacks, that´s why he has that plastic bag. Just wait for seeing his photos.
