Streets of Røros [1] Photo

Photographer’s Note

Røros is a mining town in Central Norway, located in a mountain area near the border to Sweden.

The only reason for founding a town in this place was the fact copper was found in the area, and Røros Copper Mining Company was founded in 1644. The company was operative for 333 years, until closure in 1977.

Røros has been on the UN World Heritage List since 1980, and today the place is more or less a living museum…

I’m starting this small series of images telling the story of Røros today, with the special architecture dating back often a hundred and more years.

Today’s image is from the outskirts of the town, showing some more resent residential houses in a quiet little street overlooking the centre of Røros. Inside the houses are quite modern, but the owners are not allowed to do anything on the outside except painting!

Hi Pablo,
Excellent spring weather in this one. Houses with different paints and the blue sky make a colourful photo.
Snow is mostly gone here in Tampere, but otherwise it's pretty much alike here.

Hi, Pablo!
I like your new series of Norway. Yor colors and sharpness are exc. as always. Now it is enhanced by the sunny weather. But what do I see - do you have still snow on the streets? Or this town is in the mountains?

The colors of the houses are impressive!I'll be going back to the Philippines tomorrow from China, the weather here's cold as compared to the Phils, I miss the summer heat :) rgds!

Hi Pablo,
Its refreshing to see these vibrant colours after the winter scenes. The low POV works very well here and it looks like a quiet neighbourhood. You have also selected your position well to make good use of the trees. Well done!! All the best.

Hello Pablo
This alignment of refurbished historical houses shows a variety of architecture and care taken to give a lot of style, opposed to the ghost city depiction, so familiar.
Perspective and vivid colors are admirable.
Best regards.

UlfE (8978) 2007-11-12 10:07

Hei Pablo,

Wonderful Scandinavian spring-winter scene. Very well composed picture. I really like the placing of the birch trees and the diagonal of the roofs that works well as a lead in to the red house at end of the road. It makes you feel for walking down the road to have look.

Cheers,

Ulf
