I wanted to click some pictures of buildings, shapes and color, as well as some street scenes around Oslo.  Here is a motley collection of architecture, graffiti (nuart and not so much) and some random street scenes (including the result of a “car v. berries” fender-bender) taken for the most part in Lilleaker, Grunnerløkka and the suburb of Lambertseter.

Apartment block along Akerselva with a dash of graffiti

Nuart found along Akerselva

Random youngsters, flesh and metal, near Vøyenbrua on Akerselva

Buildings in the Oslo Mathallen locale

Bright colors around the Vulcan Mathallen area

The “silo” – student housing in the Kuba area of Grunnerløkka

Graffiti (makes my teeth hurt a bit) along Akerselva

Find the red bicycle lane along Helgesens gate

Quick coffe break from “someone’s” favorite Kaffebrenneriet

People finding ways to cool off on a hot day in Olaf Ryes Plass

German tourists apparently travel in style

Shake, shake shake. Manly men do housekeeping.

Electrical box with layers of tagging

Another shot of Helgesens gate

Colors under the bridge (sannerbrua)

Nuart mural, sadly further tagged by the less artistic, along Akerselva. Apparently by Martin Watson.

Yellow and white, new OBOS apartment block on Langbolgen

Teal-colored bicycle racks for the green among us

See the poor victims (blueberries and raspberries) on the hood of this shiny Mercedes?
