Night view of the Akerselva river waterfalls in Oslo

The Akerselva waterfalls take on a magical appearance on Oslo summer evenings, when lights from surrounding venues illuminate the moving water. Long photographic exposure transforms the waterfall into a silky veil contrasting with dark rocks. Historic buildings along the banks, once factories and mills, today house design restaurants and apartments. This night view shows how Oslo has been able to enhance its natural heritage by integrating it into contemporary urban life.
