The photo challenge for last month was Architecture. I have a special interest in architecture not especially from a photographic perspective, but more because I have always been very interested in the different time periods through history of art. It is exciting to see how the architecture changes through the different time periods.

My plan was to focus on modern architecture and maybe do some shots in an abstract kind of way…….. Well, it turned out different. My daughter wanted to take a Sunday trip to Norsk Folkemuseum (The Norwegian museum of Cultural History). So, in stead of modern architecture my answer to the photo challenge was historic architecture.

The museum has a large collection of building through Norwegian history. There are houses from old farms from the period of 1500 to present time and houses and appartement buildings from the old town of Oslo (Christiania). The main attraction is Gol Stavkirke (Gol Stave Church) which is built approximately during the 11th to 12th century.
