Southern Sunset
We were meeting friends in the city but were unusually early. So to pass some time we thought to drive to the south tip of the island to watch the 2:30pm sunset. It was beautiful. Throughout Autumn the sunsets move from the West to the South, to the East and eventually disappear. The more the sun moves round the earlier the sunsets are and for a very short time we will have sunrise and sunset in the same moment.
This week we are bringing you a collection of photographs from this 7th of November sunset on the South tip of Tromsø Island. We hope you enjoy.

Such a lovely photo. It is so different from where I live. I love it!
