Entrance generally refers to the place of entering like a gate or door, or the permission to do so.In this case it is the Entrance to Bergenhus Fortress, in Bergen. Parts of the Fortress date from 1240, but the picture was shot one late afternoon in December 2009.
Today's post is an entry in the SIXTH round of ABC Wednesday, the meme initiated by Denise Nesbitt. For more, you can log on via the MckLinky enabled site

I really do like the way this has come out. The hard, cold grey of the castle stones with the warm orange in the entrance and the colour of the street light. A really good shot
Så flott lys da. Like oppenfor der bodde jeg i noen år...:)
What a lovely entrance, so enticing and atmospheric!
Oh, lovely shot. :)
What a wonderful shot! I love the way the lighting turns the entrance into orange! Love the old buildings! This country is so young we don't have any like this and it was one of the things, the history, that I loved so much about living in Europe. Hope you have a great week!

Good choice of word and a GORGEOUS image to go with it! Most certainly a 'take you there' kind of moment.
Love the perspective and lighting of this shot. Very cool. Stunning architeture.
OMG this is very pretty!

wow! such a neat shot! love the composition and that slight light/color. very cool! Looks like a great place to visit, too!
That's a wonderful picture in many ways.
Excellent entrance - I considered entrance but went with an express.
wonderful strong shapes and textures...for something so distant, there's a lovely intimacy in the cirle of light.
I would love to walk through that entrance.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we really did have photographs from 1240?
Varmt og vakkert lys,
i fin kontrast til omgivelsene.
beautiful location, beautiful light
Dette var en flott inngang:)
Inngangen ser jo varm og koselig ut :) men vi som har gått der vet at det kan være ekstra surt og kaldt til tross for det varme lyset!
Men kontrasten mellom lyset og mørket og steinen gir et fascinerende bilde.
Det der ser jo innbydende ut, med den varme og flotte fargen! Tøffe kontraster du har fanget!
This is a very great entrance, beautiful with the orange colours. It really needs a photographer with talent to see this and take such a photo! Have a great day tomorrow, RuneE!
Det var flott å se hvordan du har fanget lyset der det er, stilig med den opplyste portalen!
It looks like a coloured-in black and white photo! Very pretty.
This is an excellent shot.
Fint kveldsbilde og flott lys der inne.
What a nice entrance door!
Thanks for visiting my ABC Wednesday:E as in Excellent
Kjempeflott bilde,så fint det var med det skarpe lyset i portrommet der,og i lampen utenfor.
Excellent Entry. The photo is spectacular - the light and dark play wonderfully well.
Wonderful shot. The warm lights contrast very well with the cold stone.
Blessings!
Rune, this is a gorgeous photo, the nice warm light and minimal color surrounding.
E is also for Exit, but Entrance is much more welcoming...
Great take here, Rune. At the core, warmth of light and people really make the picture.
Beautiful picture! I love that, even though it is late afternoon, you can see so much texture in this photo. I love the contrast of the orange glow of the entrance. Thanks for sharing!
Takk for trivelig kommentar Rune, det varmer alltid at du legger igjen noen ord skal du vite.
Benker her også ser jeg, og det var det jammen Brussel også ja :-)og aldri at jeg gikk forbi en eneste en uten å tenke på min venn fra Bergen kan du skjønne, og nå ligger de da lagret her i en mappe til en passe anledning. Spennende by, masevia av flott arkitektur og en drøm for en med kamera kan du skjønne, En tenker JIPPI!!! så glad en er den med kamera mellom sine henger, ikke engang shopping kan måle seg med det faktisk!!
Ha en kjekk onsdag Rune, klem fra Anne
This is a very beautiful capture...
:)
I love this photo there is something that gives off emotion.
excellent composition, great use of light. i would like to walk thought this slated streetsof that old structure
the warm light make a great contrast!
What a lovely shot! Looks like it was taken at dusk, metering on the light? Just beautiful.
The glowing light makes the entrance so inviting in this photo. Almost monochromatic. Lovely.

Skikkelig dritlekkert! Den orangefargen gjorde virkelig susen!
Takk for at du "tør" å si hva du mener!
We bloggers all seem to agree that the light and tone of the photo is wonderful. I also like that it stirs my imagination and is a great prompt for some creative writing.
Fantastic shot, love everything about it.
e is for...
The color drew me in, Rune.
I love this shot and how you captured the color. Your picture is a joy. ~
I love this shot my friend, warm glow with it.
STUNNING!

This photo literally took my breath away, the secong I saw it. Brilliantly done!
Dates back to 1240? That's amazing!
I love this picture - EVOCATIVE!
On behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, thank you!- Ramblin' with Roger
This is such a beauty! The brilliant light puts me in the state of "awe!" I can't stop gazing at it...wow!
the warm glow of the light welcomes me to your house. I hope dinner and wine is ready. LOL
came via Dina's site,
Norway is so modern, according to my very "smart" engineer husband. You have underground cables. The overhead ones are ugly and sometimes dangerous when trees fall on them.
BTW, when I was in Australia, I saw some shoes thrown over the power line. The locals told me that it is a sign that drugs are sold. The druggies will know exactly which house to go to.
I suppose all the previous 51 comments have said much the same thing, but this is a beautiful light, with a wonderful overall mood to it.
In fact, all your photos are quite special.
