Photo Sunday - Life in the artist street

Sunday was not as warm as had been predicted. The sun shone with its absence. Then it was nice to move outside and it was good photo weather. I got to air both the pedal bike and the dog for a few hours this day. I also spotted some really nice cars in Kunstnergaten.

 

Kunstnergaten by the old flight tower

Fornebu has its own street by the old flight tower, called Kunstnergaten. Since I don't know anything about art, I often feel a bit stupid when I go there. But it's a nice place with nice people. On Sunday, "everything" is open to the public. Occasionally there is a great car outside the car museum Culture on wheels. The people who run the museum are themselves car enthusiasts who occasionally bring one of their own gems with them.

Today, several fine youngtimers and vintage cars were parked in the street outside the car museum. As one of the participants said - "When all meetings are cancelled, you'd rather arrange a joint drive". In addition to culture in the form of cars, memorabilia from the early days of flight, arts and crafts, you will find the Odonata restaurant with a nice patio. The restaurant was used for filming the first season of the TV program "First date". But you can of course stop by even if you are not on a date.

 

Shoots at everything

I use a one-handed compact camera from Sony - RX100M3. It is a top model that can be used with one hand and takes very good pictures - good lenses and good software. It is a camera that many journalists use. You can work quickly and shoot at everything. That's what I do. But here I only show pictures of cars.

Also published in the car catalogue

The images taken in connection with car collisions or carspotting along the road are also eventually loaded into the car catalogue here on the blog. The purpose is to collect photos of cars to show how different car models are developed through the model years - and to show different colors and variants of the same model. Everything is easily accessible on the search engines. There are thousands of photos of special cars "spotted" on trips by car, bicycle, dog-on-leash...

… just like these – all taken on the same Sunday.
