Agreed. It's a terrific photo. You're right, it's much uglier without the fog covering 1/2 of it.
My comment that his attempt fell short was a comment on the building
in that location, and not on Jostein's obvious skill as a
photographer. Neither was the comment meant to condemn that
particular photograph.
cheers, frank

I remember that monstrocity and excaliming "what IS it???" A very sad photo, indeed (and, of course, Jostein knows I'm complimenting him :) )
