Arty Pictures of Sandnes in Norway

Typical wooden houses in Norway

Simple lines and plain white with a touch of added colour in the flowers makes this work really well.

 

I was in Norway with my camera for a client’s wedding, but had a day or two free to take pictures of the area. I decided not to follow the typical mass tourist route to the Pulpit  Rock – Preikestolen – or other local attractions but to walk around the streets seeking interesting images with artistic merit.  I have chosen 20 images from one short walk on our first day in Norway in the neighbourhood around the Airbnb basement flat where we were staying ( https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/1125620 )

This window with its simple black and white theme looks like a work of art in itself!

This becomes an abstract art image, by looking at its key components, strong textures and colours.

What a view the residents of these houses must have!

I actually climbed up this side of the fjord too, up the Hana Treppen – the steps to a football ground where kids were training, but didn’t manage to get a view down to the fjord due to all the vegetation at the top and other house with their gardens.

Sunflowers by the fjord

These sunflowers appear to be growing wild at the side of the water
