Work.. and snow

View from my office window - a couple weeks ago vs yesterday.

My commute

The university that I've began a phd with is located around 20 miles south of Oslo. This means that I reverse commute out of the city in order to study the city. However counterintuitive, I cannot not mention how extraordinary the scenery is along the way. (and mind you, this isn't a beautiful part of Norway by the country's standards).

My train ride begins passing by the new Bjørvika development. Back of head belongs to unknown fellow commuter.

View back towards city heading east.

The east really has been industrial - but this too wil be condos in a few years.

There are some spectacular views of the fjord and a few small towns in this space that I never can quite capture on my phone camera...

At the other end of the train line, I have a bus ride that mostly looks like this.

I walk up a hill on the edge of campus and pass this house each day - the autumn colors suit it well.

My office is in the building just to the right of this picture.
