I live in the capitol of Norway, Oslo. Some people say its butt ugly, USA Today say its the most expensive city in the world. Oslo was founded around 1048, burned down in 1624, rebuilt and got its name Oslo in 1925 (previously named “Christiania / Kristiania”).

Lots of people dislike how it look, but after living here for 15 years or so I have learned to both love it and hate it. These photos try to view Oslo from a different side as well as the postcard type-ish… Hope you like them. Or hate them.
