Geir and I just came home after celebrating the Norwegian Constitution Day, 17th May.
As I lived for over 16 years in Copenhagen, Denmark, this was the first time in years I celebrated this special day in my home country.
The weather was somewhat clouded but still beautiful. Here are some impressions I would love to share with you. All pictures taken with my iPhone 4.

I’ve linked to some wiki articles if you would like to know more about the different locations:
Oslo, Norway, Grand Hotel, Karl Johans Gate, The Parliament, Akershus Fortress and Aker Brygge.
Akershus Castle? I have almost the same pictures, but in October, when I took some days off to go to Oslo
16 years in Copenhagen? Wow….I’ve heard a lot of my former colleagues (Norwegian) who told me Kobenhavn is far more nicer than Oslo. Is it?
Stunning photos Anette! I love them. I guess you spend some time in the “darkroom” (photoshop) for after processing? What camera are using?
Thanks, Walrus!
Actually these photos were taken on the go with my iPhone4. Then a couple of simple processes of cropping and a few adjustment to the brightness/contrast and midtone contrast in PhotoShop Elements 5.0. It can also be done with the free iPhone app “PS Express”, but I prefer working on a bigger screen when editing.
The Oslo Fjord panorama picture is stitched together by 34 single photos in the free Microsoft ICE stitching software before processed in Photoshop.
Thank you for sharing! Your Instagram pics also very enjoyable; I appreciate when pictures of everyday objects and situations turn into art.
