To those of you who think of deep frozen cod everytime you hear of Norway I can inform you that this association is not longer valid. The traditional fishing industry is being passed by high tech as I tried to symbolize with this "waiting-for-a-train-again-shot" from the central station in Trondheim.

Frionor is for all Scandinavian, maybe for most Europeans, for ever associated with frozen fish products. I liked how their warehouse made a colorcontras background to the high speed train to Oslo.

I did not take that train even if it had been fun, I took the less fancy regional train Nabotoget to my old home town across the border and across the mountains. Östersund and Trondheim are neighbour cities but 280 km apart...

Hi Ebbe,
Nice with the symbolism of the old and new norway. I like the soft aerodynamic curves of the train.

Actually, I mainly think of oil and cross-country skiers when I hear of Norway. Seems to be very few norwegians on TE btw.

Ha en bra helg,
Simon

Ebbe, I love the sleek lines of the train and the way the light plays on the curves. The sign of Frionor is a great detail and the red colour helps to pick out the red light of the train too.

haha! Two trains in a row. Very beautiful light on the train Ebbe! Thanks.

Good compo with strong graphism and interesting lines in it.Also a nice play of light and shadows.The red sign in the background gives good balance to the colors of the train.

the cured lines and shadow in tight close up very graphical to the old deepfreeze company. Good contrast between them in colors and lightening.

I prefer haddock to cod but... okay! Thanks for the info - but I'm afraid we'll soon be left with no single cod in our waters if some SW-Europen countries are continued to be allowed to fish in our waters... ;-D
Anyway, your compo is great here. The train's 'beak' instantly reminded me (for some reason) of those Japanese dogs-robots expensive toys for kids - even though it could be a modernised version of a Yorkshire terrier... lol.
Fine diagonals and again, pleasant tri-colour presentation that is well accompanied by your note,
Robi

I like this one best of your Trondheim station shots, Ebbe, almost filling the frame with the rear end of the Oslo train. The 'smooth' surface really speaks high speed, where nothing should provide air resistance. The 'edgy' angular letters of "Frionor" serve as a contrast both in shape and - together with the rear lamps - color. Fine details are the figures on the train (in a much nicer font) and the shade emphasizing the shape of the train and the font(s) on the wall. Why is there a big 'O' in the middle? Well, it's not your fault - very well done!

Very sleek and futuristic image and perfectly composed within the frame and with the location sign just to the front of the train. I used the 'Flytoget' train between Oslo airport and city very often last year so know the Norwegian trains are very good! This one actually looks even more high-tech.

Excellent graphisme. Belles couleurs.
