Tryvannstårnet is the name of the 118 metre high TV Tower of Oslo, located 529 metres above mean sea level near the Tryvann lake. Tryvannstårnet was built in 1962 and has an observation deck in a height of 60 metres, from which you have at clear weather conditions a sight extending to the Swedish border. The observation deck was closed in 2005 because of new fire safety regulations that would have required expensive investments, as well as a rapidly declining number of visitors. In the 1980s and 90s, the tower yearly had around 100,000 visitors.

ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the transmissiontower against the sky but my favourite is most definitely the last with the reflections in the lake.
ReplyDeleteThe tower looks a little out of place in that setting... I wonder what the people who work at the transmitting station think of the job.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos though!
Så fint å få se fine bilder av Tryvannstårnet. Det tårnet har jeg hørt nevnt ofte men aldri har jeg sett hvordan det egentlig ser ut. I dag har vi valgt omtrent samme tema. Stikker du innom så kan du se hva jeg mener.
ReplyDeleteGod helg til deg fra meg.
Wonderful pictures! My favorite is the last.
ReplyDeleteVeldig flott!
ReplyDeleteNr. 2 er utrolig fint!
Ett sted jeg har hørt om tusenvis av ganger.
Endelig fikk jeg sett det også.
Takk. ;)
Fantastisk fine bilder,litt av noen tårn,blir svimmel bare ved tanken på hvor høye de er.God helg til deg og dine!
ReplyDeleteJeg må si som Ivar: No fikk jeg lyst til å klatre;)
ReplyDeleteUtrolig vakre bilder. Og jeg tror jeg er en utdøende rase. Jeg har nemlig ikke vært der! Selv om jeg har bodd i nærheten i den tia en kunne besøke den. hahahaha.
The towers are huge... they look great reflected in the waters. Nice photos.

Si til Lene at hun må være obs på om det kommer noen rekende langs drammens elva....hihihi finner jeg ett passende fartøy så hiver jeg meg med.:-)
Dessuten har jeg bestemt at Drammen skal flyttes nordover. Så da er det bare å vente.
Jeg fikk litt mange innbydelser....var det rett eller?
Ha en fin foto helg! Ikke la Lene begrave seg helt i bøkene nå da.
Okei, da er det bekreftet, leste ikke så nøye.:-)
ReplyDeleteDa er det bare ut å knipse... nå må jeg prøve å finne ut hvor jeg stiller inn på RAW,.
