By our favourite jetty is the cutest little boat shed. We often have picnics there in Summer. It’s nice to just drop by our favourite places in Winter to see how very different but very beautiful everything still is.
There is an opposition in everything. At the darkest time of the year, we celebrate Christmas. And at the exact opposite end, when the midnight sun is at its highest, we celebrate Midsummer.
From the west, a wall of stone Saints and Prophets will confront you. All sides of the Cathedral are very textured and deserve a long walk around. You’ll see gargoyles and gothic arches, thick wooden doors with rusty floral art and Anglo-Norman/Romanesque bits and pieces ’stuck on’ that intensifies your ground view. However, the outside of Nidaros Cathedral is even more intriguing when you know the history.

On any celebration table in Norway you can always find a Norwegian layer cake (bløtkake). What better way to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day than with fresh cream, wild berries and a little bit of sponge in between.
I think Autumn is my favourite season in Norway – the weather is still warm here in Tromsø, the sunsets come down over the mountains again and the blueberries are ripe for the picking.

Love the icicle picture! It’s such a different world from where I live in Phoenix. I enjoy viewing it though through the lens of your camera.

I love frozen waterfalls. Hopefully I’ll be able to take some pics when we go to Alta.
Such beautiful photos! So very serene and the colours are magnificent. I love snow and ice, it always makes everything seem so magical.

In Oz we would put spray frost on the windows at Christmas but we don’t have to do that here – it’s all real!
Hope things are ok for you in South Brazil – I’ve heard about the floods.
Hi! I live in Norway now and I will travel around Norway this summer. I really like your blog and enjoy your fantastic pictures about Norway. Could I know which serious your camera is? Thanks a lot.
