Some photos taken in and around Oslo earier this month, when Michiel was visiting me 🙂

The Royal Palace at sunset…

On Saturday we went for a walk in Oslomarka, starting from Tryvannshøgda and ending at Holmenkollen. The weather was beautiful, and there were still some autumn colours left…

Michiel in the forest 🙂

At Skjennungen…

We had a nice break at Skjennungstua with some very tasty cinnemon rolls. After that we continued our walk on “blue paths” (blåstien, hiking paths with blue markers, they don’t follow the dirt roads and are of variable quality 😉 ).

The clouds were quite special that day, and I noticed there was some cloud iridescence – rainbow colours in the clouds.

At first I thought it was just an effect of my sunglasses, but it wasn’t! This zoomed in photo shows it more clearly…

We walked past Frønsvollen (which I first visited with Marie a year ago, see here). It is such a nice place…

Especially with the open views. The mast on the left is Tryvann, where we started our walk.

My car was parked at Holmenkollen, so we continued down the hill. We took a path which wasn’t even signposted, but suddenly this view over Oslo opened up – fantastic!

For the last part of the walk we followed the roller skiing trail (yes that’s a thing, and really popular too!).

We walked past the Holmenkollen Chapel at sunset – so pretty…

On Sunday we watched the very orange sunset from the roof of the opera house…

They are building a lot around the Opera, a new library and the new Munch museum – lots of cranes!

We also went inside the Opera, I love this building 🙂

Great weekend! 🙂
