Tromsø in High Summer
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.

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.
Table settings are very much a part of the tradition of serving cake.
Lathari beach is the only beach in Alta.
21st January is soldagen (the sun day) when the sun officially returns to Tromsø.
Traditional Norwegian cuisine is based on natural resources.
Large wooden racks called hjell are for drying fish.
You framed this photo perfectly with the leaves from the trees. Lovely picture!

Why is the most BEAUTIFUL places in the world seem to have the harshest winters. Alaska is like that, and so many other places.
Beautiful picture.

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.
