Sun, Sea, and Oslo's Opera House

On a warm and sunny day at the end of July, we explored the vicinity surrounding the Oslo Opera House. This particular locale, characterized by modern urban development, is famously referred to as 'Barcode' due to its high-rise buildings arranged in a configuration reminiscent of a barcode's pattern. The atmosphere exuded vibrant vitality, with people unmistakably capitalizing on the favorable weather. What particularly drew my attention was the sight of individuals, young and old,  fully immersing themselves in the invigorating waters of the fjord. Despite the allure, the water temperature hovered no higher than 18 degrees Celsius – a bit too chilly for our comfort, which dissuaded us from joining them. - Barcode, Oslo, Norway.
