A picture taken to the west from a walking track on the hill in the centre on Tromsø island.
Tromsø in high summer is beautiful and warm. The sun is mature and the colours deep. It is easy to forget that all this turns into a winter wonderland.
My Little Norway
2010 Calendar
The sun never goes down during this season but the mountains to the East are so high that the sun still has to raise above them in the morning hours and an artificial dawn-effect wakes the city.
The bunad is a traditional Norwegian costume worn by both men and women. It can either come from established rural traditions or have a more modern design inspired by historical patterns and cuts.

At full-moon the blue light almost looks electric. Our favourite jetty really knows how to surprise us for Christmas – especially with this ‘elfs-eye-view’.

The further ‘out of the way’ you go the more common it is to see folk cottages standing by the side of roads, along fjords or in a thicket of trees, minding their own business.

Tromsø has just hit the point where the sun doesn’t come over the horizon anymore. I’m amazed at how quickly it happened. Have to wait til mid-January now before we can see the sun again – yikes!
It is stunning, absolutely beautiful. However as I have said before my heart melts in the winter

Christmas is fantastic – every childs dream. But it sure makes it hard to take outside pictures when you only have twilight ..lol
Lovely photo.
How much snow do you have there now? My daughter’s in Oslo and is complaining that it’s getting cold but no doubt it’s much worse up north, especially without the sun.
Btw, I’ve tagged you on my blog.
