First Polar Night
At 11:30 am, high-noon, we watched from our favourite jetty as the sun tried to peak over the horizon one last time… it didn’t quite make it. Today we entered the realm of the polar night.

Autumn is Fårikål season in Norway.
Pølse is THE fast food of Norway. When the grilled pølse was first introduced to Norway in the 50s it was eaten naked – without bread.

The tricky part is keeping track of the light. We will only have a couple of hours a day to shoot – but I guess that’s what makes the light this time of year more precious.
Is this as light as it gets all day? How many months does it last?

. The pic shows the brightest part of the day. In the peak of Christmas you only get about half an hour of twilight. The sun comes back mid-January. But this is in Tromsø. Higher up in Norway, like in Nordkapp, you don’t even get that much light, and lower down in Oslo you only get about two-three hours of sun around Christmas time. It’s very different from place to place because Norway is a long country that stretches across latitudes.

Not all day – just a couple of hours
