ze fort


First of all today, we have my very first oil painting! woooooo~!! its a decent first attempt with painting... but i need more work to get the colour blending right... not easy.. XD and the photo makes it look more pinkish than red. oh well, at least its obvious what i was trying to paint XD

A couple of days ago, we went for a longish walk to the fort nearby.. which was a very nice walk because you get to hear birds singing in the trees.. and not boring crow caws. i recorded a short video clip, but i dont know how it turned out yet, have been too lazy to check. the walk to the fort included going up a small path on a green hill with lovely green trees, as seen in the pic below XD
the pic below shows the overview of the fort at the end of the path.. there are actually a few people around in sun bathing wear and lying around in the grass. the white building you see there, i didnt go into.. because you have to pay quite a sum to get in, and i wasnt feeling rich XD
However, there was another building which we could look into... small rooms basically... one room actually held a biggish well. it was dark in there, so the water looked black. and it was kind of barred up, like some jail. to add to the creepy effect, its next to this wall where a sign says something like "norwegian patriots were shot at this spot" wah. Another room held a mini church with a fireplace..
The well is located on the middle of the pic, on the right of the corner of the building. Think you can roughly see a signboard on the wall... oh, and we could climb all over the place, so you can see people standing on top of the grassy part...

All in all, it was something to see, and it was OLD. very very old. i shall conclude with a picture of the view from the fort, looking out to the ocean
the end. shall blog again soon enough XD
