The Royal Palace (no:Slottet) in Oslo

- was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of Norwegian and Swedish king Charles III (Carl Johan, Charles XIV of Sweden) and is used as the official residence of the present Norwegian Monarch. The crown princely couple resides at Skaugum Manor in Asker Municipality outside of Oslo, while the three princesses of Norway live on estates in Oslo, Fredrikstad and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

Until the completion of the Palace, members of the Bernadotte dynasty resided in Paleet, a magnificent town house in Christiania bequeathed to the State in 1805 to be used as a royal residence. King Charles III of Norway never saw his Palace completed, but his successors Oscar I, Charles IV and Oscar II used it regularly during their stays in Christiania (now Oslo). They spent most of their time in their Swedish capital Stockholm, but tried to spend some months in Norway every year. Oscar II was a frequent visitor, but preferred to use his seaside villa at Bygdøy during his summer holidays, while his Queen Sophia mostly stayed at the country residence of Skinnarbøl near the Swedish border for the sake of her health. Oscar II was absent from his Palace during 1905, the year of the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden, but his son, Crown Prince Gustaf, paid two short visits in his vain attempts to save the union.

 

The Bernadotte dynasty resigned their Norwegian throne in 1905 and was succeeded by the Danish prince Carl, who took the name of Haakon VII when he accepted his election as king of completely independent Norway. He was the first monarch to use the Palace as his permanent residence.

 

The palace was designed by the Danish-born architect Hans Ditlev Franciscus Linstow (1787-1851). The project was initiated in the Norwegian parliament in 1821, the foundation stone was laid down by the king in 1825, and the building was completed in 1849, during the reign of Oscar I.

 

During the reign and residence of King Olav V from 1957 to 1991, the Royal Palace was not renovated and insufficiently kept up. When the current monarch, King Harald V, started a comprehensive renovation project, it was criticized due to the amount of money needed to bring the Palace up to a satisfactory state. Since public tours began in 2002, the general public has been able to view and appreciate the renovation and splendour the palace now boasts.

Update: 3.18.2017.

 

Very pleased to announce that this piece won 3rd prize last night at the Gifted Gala 2017 held by the Lemont Center for the Arts. The Gala was held at the Lithuanian World Center Art Museum (which is a hidden gem) in Lemont, Illinois and will benefit the arts. I am very honored to have had four pieces hanging in the show and taking this prize.

Amazing show last night at the Flower of Life Art Gallery in Lockport. All of the artists there presented really impressive work and it was great to see.

 

Here is the second of three pieces that I presented:

 

This poster is associated with an article I wrote for the first edition of TAGOL Talk that will be published sometime in 2017. Send me your email if you would like me to email you a copy of the full article. The poster above is not part of the article, but almost all of the portraits in it also appear in the article.

 

The Peace Project

 

Photography – Glossy 20 x 28

 

The Peace Project is a collection of portraits of people from Chicago, Illinois and from the other side of the planet at Jakarta, Indonesia. The project looks to recognize that life is not so black and white but more portraits of gray. Cultures and people are incredibly different, but maybe someday we will figure out that we are all human and understand how much we actually have in common. That there is a oneness to mankind and we all, I hope, have peace somewhere in us.

 

Much peace, love and happiness from them to you.

In use 1290s-today

Controlled by Norway, Germany

 

Akershus Fortress (Akershus Festning) is the old castle built to protect Oslo, the capital of Norway.

 

The first work on the fortress started around the late 1290s, by King Håkon V, replacing Tønsberg as one of the two most important Norwegian castles of the period (the other being Båhus). It was constructed in response to the Norwegian nobleman, Earl Alv Erlingsson of Sarpsborg’s earlier attack on Oslo.

 

The fortress has successfully survived many sieges, primarily by Swedish forces. In the early 17th c., the fortress was modernized and remodeled under the reign of the active King Christian IV, and got the appearance of a renaissance castle.

 

The fortress was first used in battle in 1308, when it was besieged by the Swedish duke Erik of Södermanland, who later in the same year won the Swedish throne. The immediate proximity of the sea was a key feature, for naval power was a vital military force as the majority of Norwegian commerce in that period was by sea. The fortress was strategically important for the capital, and therefore, Norway as well. Whoever ruled Akershus fortress ruled Norway.

 

The fortress has never been successfully captured by a foreign enemy. It surrendered without combat to Nazi Germany in 1940 when the Norwegian government evacuated the capital in the face of the unprovoked German assault on Denmark and Norway (see Operation Weserübung). During WWII, several people were executed here by the German occupiers. After the war, eight Norwegian traitors who had been tried for war crimes and sentenced to death were also executed at the fortress. Among those executed was Vidkun Quisling.

 

Akershus fortress is still a military area, but is open to the public daily until 9pm. In addition to the castle, the Norwegian Armed Forces museum and the Norwegian Resistance museum can be visited there. The Norwegian armed forces inteligence still has the HQ at Akershus Fortress.

 

Several Norwegian royals have been buried in the Royal Mausoleum in the castle. They include:

 

* King Haakon VII

* Queen Maud

* King Olav V

* Crown Princess Märtha

Day 321. Autumn's last stand. A view from the driveway.

I want to start writing something about every photo in this 365 project, although it may be only four words so...

I was going back home after work. These days is always dark when I get home tired and is difficult to take some shoots; same streets, same places, same town, tired...

I try to change my route to go home. Today a used another street and saw this window. I simply like it and shoot it. It has nothing different or important, but I liked the frame.
