This is from one of the typical small alleyways on the Nordnes peninsula where I work. It's strange they were allowed to build that close as most of this area was consumed by the flames in the great fire of 1916.

Trying out my new old 90mm Elmarit lens from 1971 - and in fact from my birth year. This is a lens which may look a little ridiculous as it's unfashionable long but it does work mechanically very well.
