Back at the quay; Aker Brygge in Oslo a peaceful winter morning.

Far away from the description given by the Herbern Marina (at the same place):

Aker Brygge is a small society on its own; an attraction, an independent part of the city- a place where you can take a brake and have a good time.

It's definitely the eating and drinking place, where you also do your shopping. It's the place to watch and to be seen, a meeting point for all kinds of people in a happy mix - if it is in a relaxed chat in one of the outdoor restaurants on a bright shiny day, or wrapped in by the atmosphere in one of the many joints open till long after bedtime. It has taken more than 10 years to get Aker Brygge to be what it appears today. Now the place has become as famous as the Viking ships- you simply don't visit Oslo not seeing and experiencing Aker Brygge!!!

Bonjour Jack,
un endroit qui doit être bien fréquenté en d'autres saisons et d'autres heures de la journée.
Une caractéristique d'Oslo que je ne connaissais pas, j'en connais d'ailleurs très peu sur les capitales scandinaves.
Un beau panel de couleur dans une photo où le cadrage est difficile (pour tout avoir en entier).
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Jack, a beautiful urban view, with some snow and a wonderful collection of lights.
excellent also the colours and the focus for a night view.
thanks, and happy new year.
ciao

Bonjour Jack,
Tout est calme, dormez braves gens ! c'est ce qui ressort de cette très belle prise de vue nocturne.
Bravo pour avoir su capturer ce petit matin d'hiver où brillent encore quelques guirlandes des dernières fêtes.
Jolie présentation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Jack

I like the striking color oppositio between the blue & yellow. A well managed time exposure with excellent control of the low light levels & a good exposure level. Congratulations!

Hi Jack you found a fantastically serene but also strange scene. Looks like something out of the Twighlight Zone. I really like how there is absolutely no human figure as far as I caan see.

Bonjour Jack,
A nouveau une jolie vue de l'Aker Brygge, avec un belle perspective des bancs. Toutes les lumières des appartements avec l'entrée en bleue est du plus bel effet.
Amicalement
Martine

Hi jack,
A image of one year old but suitable exactly by this period of the year.
Excellant night picture excellent shap and clear, nice perspective through the benches,a lovely christmas atmosphere.
Best regards,
John

Jack, the empty place gave to the scene an excellent poetycal shot. I like the theme worked and the season elements.
Sergio

Nice add to your small series from the mid-December morning stroll, Jack. In addition to the diagonal framing that is well emphasized by the lineup of benches in front, I again enjoy the variety of lights and resulting neon colors, all well exposed and lending a nice graphical touch.

Hello Jack,
Very nice repetiton effect with the chairs! And beautiful colours too. Very serene atmosphere that you've captured. Thanks for detailed note, too.
Best regards,
Cheukhin Tsang

Excellent note, Jack.

The exposure came out perfect -- none of the lights look blown out. Excellent work.

Was this photo taken at 8:30 in the morning or 8:30 in the evening?

La rue et les bancs attendent des jours meilleurs. La présence de la neige indique la température probable et en contrepartie les logements semblent bien au chaud avec leurs lumières orangées. Belle photo d'ambiance !

Hi Jack,
Nice, modern designed place with an atmosphere of silence and peace early morning. Great place at that time to seat down and talk... I think. Nice POV. All the best. maki

Good perspective. The building and benches run smoothly from the left to the right. Good sharpness as well.
Cheers!

Bonjour Jack
la chaussée sous la neige donne un avant-plan qui équilibre cette photo nocturne.
Je note une bonne maîtrise de l'exposition.

Hello Jack
The roadway under snow gives a foreground which balances this night photograph. I note a good control of the exposure.
