In Norway there's no tradition for fireworks arranged by the city. It's too cold in January to gather downtown for the celebrations, so everyone just go out into their gardens or a nearby open spot, launch their rockets and then head back inside. The result is a view like this, with fireworks shooting up from absolutely everywhere at midnight on January 1.

Well, I tried uploading one, but it got downscaled to this. The original is 2292x1135.
Why?

Just to see more detail, really. If available, it would be great to get a look at.

Absolutely fantastic photo, Bjørn Christian! Living in Oslo myself, I'm curious as to where this picture was taken from?
I was on top of St. Hanshaugen at the time and though the view was beatiful from there, it's uncomparable to this marvel :)

Thank you.
Yes, the photo was taken while standing on the (freezing cold) plateau in front of the (closed) restaurant at Frognerseteren. #8D)

Beautiful, I was at Geilo so I didn't get to see this (the fireworks were great there as well).
And screw our overprotecting government, hopefully I'm moving to the US next year for university.

Hello Bjørn!
I've heard you talked about this picture, but I've never got the chance to see it. I was just surfin' around on the net when I saw this picture. I thought it maybe was yours, and it was! Man, the world is small. Too bad you didn't get the chance to upload it to the Aftenposten-contest, you'd won it! I'm really impressed.
See you at school!
