#2What/where is the location of the (third) picture with two ladies and a very curvy street? That looks like an optical illusion of sort given his POV, or is the street really as curvy and as steep as that? Beautiful shot that one.

#4It's actually nice to see people smiling in these old photos. Something that was absent in posed photos of those days.

Same - When I visited the site I got a load of application download requests - seems like it has been compromised unless its some corrupted image lazy loader?

I walk by this street corner every now and then, and was puzzled by this as well. It's quite different today, but the location is more or less on top of the National Theater railway station [1]. I think you are right about the lens making it look more curvy/steep, in this aerial photo from 1937 [2], you can tell it's just 180 degrees.

Victoria Terrace (Terrasse), Oslo.

It doesn't seem particularly stretched by a "fish-eye" effect, all vertical lines of the buildings remain vertical, it is just a particular effect of the perspective, compare with:
