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.

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.
How Norway became a country is shrouded in mystery and folklore. The most well known tale is of Harald Hårfagre who gathered the small kingdoms of the north into a unified nation in 872AD – and of course, this story is about love.
Many Norwegians know what they are doing when they pick wild mushrooms. This knowledge is passed down the family during mushroom hunting trips. The hard-core mushroom hunters go into the mountain wilderness for days to get the best finds.
Such a lovely photo. It is so different from where I live. I love it!
Wow, this photo is stunning. I love the color of the ocean; it looks like its quietly burning!
