The Norway Chapter

Hi,

As the days get longer and the sun shines stronger – it was time to do one of the ‘mandatory’ photo walks through Trondheim to capture the soft and warm evening sun. The city center is very well explorable by foot and the colorful buildings just add a certain charm. I started at the old towns bridge and walked up to the top to the fortress which is the white bulky building on the panorama picture in my first post. The sunset here is enormously slow at the moment and I started to shoot way to early – when the real action happend my hands were already frozen and all I wanted is a coffee and some gloves.
There is not much more of an update from my side, only that i can find a regularity in each day by now. Getting up, going to university, doing this, doing that – everything has finally settled down to a routinish pace. Still it is much more than a usual routine living in this very interessting melting pot uf cultures. My four flat mates are from Nepal, Ethiopia and Portugal and this makes discussions interestingly diverse. One day, I might introduce them here.

Apart from that, there is not much more to say despite wishing you a lot of fun going trough my pictures.

Hi,

As I decided to move to Norway till summer to pursue a term at the NTNU in Trondheim, I had high expectations concerning Norway’s landscapes and sceneries. All over the internet you can find these enormous landscapes and magnificent views. It is even better in reality! I have only explored a small part of Trondheim so far, but for now I really like it! There is so much to be told, but I will try to limit myself to the bare essentials. Winter in Norway is dark and dark and sometimes cold but as spring aproaches days get longer and the colors start to shine!

After finishing an intensive term in Switzerland and flying back and forth for my exams, I settled down a little and can now start to appreciate the extra time I have. The last months were like a roller coaster ride with its ups and downs, quitting my job, deciding for this term here implied a lot of consequences which brought additional turbulences to my already busy lifestyle back home. At the moment I am glad to take things ‘slower’ – having the time to drink coffee and just read a book seams like the best reward for the past months.

View from Tyholt tower down on Trondheim on a cloudy day. The colors of the houses just look amazing! It is really fascinating to see all these buildings painted in their red, yellow and blueish colors – it gives this place just a unique charm.

But for now lets just enjoy this nice afternoon in pictures… [Read more]
