Description Is this the end
of everything
the last stop on the journey of life

or might this be

a fresh start
a new beginning

the beginning of something even greater


More underground pictures from Oslo


I felt this was the perfect picture to end my Oslo underground series. Even though it's blurry and far from being a perfect picture, I really like it.

As the summer has crawled up on us I´ve felt less and less like dwelling in the darks of the metro stations with my camera. I've also spent a lot of time in Valldal on the west coast of Norway, far away from the metros in Oslo.

In 10 days I´m going to South America, and when I'm coming back I´ll move to Trondheim, so in a way, it also really feels like the right moment to end it.
Even though it is a bit sad as well. This is my first real photo project, and it became a lot bigger than I originally intended, and gained a lot more exposure and positive feedback than I would ever have dreamed of. I really want to thank you all for that, and for all your support. I really, really appreciate it

(And by the way, this is one of the exits of Stortinget metro station )

Post-processing
Turned up the contrast with a black and white layer set to soft light (60%), converted to black and white, and cropped to square.
