Photo. The colour of the sky was dark blue late in the evening in Oslo. The two buildings on the photo are the tallest in Oslo, called Postgirobygget and Hotel Plaza.
Oslo city is located at the head of an inlet known as the Oslofjord in Norway. In this evening I stood at the central railway station waiting for a train. I took my time to observe the mysterious and beautiful blue dark colour in the sky.
Among all colours dark blue is related to beauty. This colour symbolise eternity, and connect the present with the past and the future. In the past it has been used by magicians and wizards, inside pyramids in Egypt, and related to religions as Buddha and Krishna.
In myths dark blue colour is a divine colour connected to mysteriousness and value.
From the psychological point of view, dark blue colour associates calmness and peace.
The dark blue evening created strange shapes on the sky and created associations with many things, but first of all I will call it modern art.
