Sunset at Sunnaas hospital in February

It All Begins Here

All winter i have been waiting for good enough weather to take pictures from a terrace at Sunnaas hospital. The hospittal is situated on a hill close to the Oslo fjord. The terrase is on the south-side of the building complex and the view is stunning any day. During winter the sun sets early enough so I dont have to stay there really late. In addition the evening and night are a lot darker than they are during summer. And dont get me started on the colors. On last Saturday there where just some clouds and no winds. It had been fairly cold for some time, which meant there still was snow around.

It took a while to get there from home, but it turned out to be worth it. There were actually some ice on the Oslo fjord, and that says alot for the length of the cold weather. It was still about an hour to sunset, so I walked for a bit around in the area around the hospital. When i had set up my equiptment a member of staff came around and started chatting with me. We talked for some length about photography and it was a nice adition to a already nice day. After she went inside the hospital again the sun set and I got some amasing pictures.
