Sauron hidden in plain sight in #Bergen? No, it is just Slettebakken Church.

Opened in 1970, it is a concrete construction with a fan-shaped copper roof, and a glass slit that lets daylight in to the main room. The "AD ASTRA" plan by architect Tore Sveram was apparently met with skepticism by the municipality, but loved by the congregation, and still stands as a striking landmark by Tveitevannet in Bergen.

A black and white photo of a concrete building with a tall, narrow central spire that extends upwards in a curved shape, flanked by two symmetrical sloping sides that create an elegant and striking silhouette. The exterior appears to be made of concrete or a similar material, with vertical lines accentuating the height and curvature of the building.

Vestbanen, a railway station and final stop for the western and southern lines. It opened in 1872 and closed in 1989 when all traffic to Oslo was directed to the central station through the new tunnel under the city center.

The tall building with two towers is the city hall.

Year: Ca. 1950

"No stranger shall every doubt where the post building is in #Bergen," said an article in the paper Dagen in 1956, after the opening of the new main post central.

It took 40 years, delayed by the war of course, but after the loss of the city's old post central in the great fire of 1916, there was finally a new one. Some interior shots coming in tomorrow's post.

The building was drawn by Nils Holter, who made several important Norwegian public buildings in the mid-1900s, among them this and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's buildings in Oslo.

The building has been a mall since 2004, and had a post office until the last one closed down in 2021.

Between 1907 and 1980, there were railway tracks between Østbanen, (the Eastern station, today Oslo Central Station) and Vestbanen (the western railway station). The tracks were 2.2 km long, and used for freight traffic between east/north and west/south. In 1980, the new tunnel between east and west was ready, and Vestbanen were no longer needed.

Year: 1954 (18. Sep).

Forum Kino, late 40s. On of the staple examples of #functionalism in Norway, this building, drawn as the new city cinema before WWII by #OleLandmark, was heavily inspired by #ArtDeco.

Forum ran as a municipal cinema from 1946. The first movie shown was Disney´s Fantasia on October 4th 1946, the last was "#StarWars: Revenge of the Sith" on the night of May 19th 2005.

Was temporarily listed from 2006, and finally given full listed status in 2017. Is now owned by private investors who use it as a stage for theater, standup and large meetings, bound by law to keep it looking like it was outside and parts of the inside.

Ms. Robsham walks along Drammensveien (Henrik Ibsens gate today). The park at the royal palace to the left and the University in the background.

As a student in 1893, Størmer obtained a detective camera that could be hidden under his vest with the lens out through a buttonhole and with a string down into a trouser pocket. This is how he photographed people he met on Karl Johan in Christiania (which Oslo was called back then) in the 1890s. This might have been a quite questionable behavior, but 130 years later we
have a very unique set of photographs from the everyday life where people look natural and not posing for the camera.

Year: 1893-1897

Photographer: Fredrik Carl Mülertz Størmer
