Spring feelings…

The spring is a little hesitant these days. Tuesday it was cold and raining, but on wednesday everything cleared, and the sun came out. Everyday there are more and more signs of spring. One of the best is everything on two wheels are put on the streets again.

The Dandelion flower always amazes me. It is not picky about location, and not even concrete or asphalt are able to stop it.

And I had to take some more pictures of my favorite and local church, Vålerenga Kirke.

All prints are John S lens, the films are BlacKeys B+W and Blanko Noir (full color).

Monday afternoon Hipstawalk

The sun was gone today, so I went for a little walk in the light rain. As you can see, I went a few familiar places. :) John S Lens, Blackeys B+W Film.

Vålerenga Church

As I have previously mentioned the local church means a lot to the community. Both to the people, and to our supporters of our great soccer team Vålerenga. Every match we start of by singing a song dedicated to the church. The church is from 1902. The 18th of september 1979, the church burned to the ground. Only the stone walls were left standing. Tragically, frescos and stainless glass paintings from Emanuel Vigeland were lost to the flames. Emanuel was the younger brother of the more famous Gustav Vigeland. Gustav made among many things, all the statues and decorations at the famous Vigelendsparken in Oslo. It took five years for the church to be rebuilt.

Wether you are a believer, or not, the church is in our heart, and stands for a symbol of the whole area. Here are some shots of the church. Prints are John S Lens, BlacKeys B+W and Pistil Film.
