The old town of Fredrikstad

The best preserved fortress town in the nordic countries is both vivid, charming and very interesting.
















In these pictures, I have used topaz adjust filter and converted to black white.

    Så koselig det så ut der da!
    Jeg har aldri vært der selv..
    Er nok mange perler rundt omkring i overkommelig avstand, bare man vet om de.
    Dere er jo så flinke til å dra litt rundt på tur dere.

    Flotte bilder her hos deg!
    Ha en fortsatt fin uke!
    Hilsen nabo`n(",)

    Veldig fine bilder,og de passer så godt til å være i svart/hvitt akkurat fordi de er derfra.

    En artig variant - gjør du ren ren konvertering, eller bruker du PS sin spesielle fargejusteringsmulighet? (Det gjorde jeg i min post forleden)

    A wonderful set of images that's captures the town. The second one is the best composition to me. Nice one.

    Fantastiska bilder!
    Älskar stads & gatu bilder, och dessa blev kanon i svartvitt!

    Varma hälsningar från Afrika,

    PS: Jodå, hissen upp till restaurangen/baren på Radisson SAS är värt mödan. Din kamera skulle säker kunna haffa några bra bilder genom glasrutorna!

    It´s a real poem for the cobble stones. They are so magnificent in the rain but annoyingly slippery sometimes.

    I love "old". The cobbled streets and the well preserved houses are captivating. The photos really depict the different time, as there are also not many people around, I saw one person and one bike. One can nearly hear the stillness of the town in your pictures.
