Out of the woods

Barcode

"The Barcode Project is a section of the Bjørvika portion of the Fjord City redevelopment on former dock and industrial land in central Oslo. It consists of a row of new multi-purpose high-rise buildings, due to be completed in 2014. The developer is marketing the project as The Opera Quarter. There has been intense public debate about the height and shape of the buildings."
That is Wikipedias way of describing the new Oslo skyline - which it is in tourist terms. 
I like it a lot, it has charm and character and it is creative. And it gave the city some rather spectacular boat findings from the middle ages (former archaeologist talking here). I discussed whether this looks better in colour or mono with Lars, so mono it is. 
My favourite among the building is the Deloitte - the one with the different window shapes - so I put an extra picture in today of a close-up of that one
