Sunsets in Norway

 Photo Album: Another Sunset in Norway |
I have just returned from a ten day trip to Norway, spending 8 1/2 days on ferries. It still feels like I’m on a rocking ship, even though I am pretty sure that my dining room table isn’t moving.
I was looking forward to seeing forests and cities again, after ten and a half months in the Faroe Islands. However, looking at the photos I took on this trip, I realized how much I have missed seeing sunsets. In California, I often watch the sun setting into the Pacific Ocean. In Fuglafjørður, my house has tall mountains on three sides, and a low mountain on the fourth, and I can’t see the sunset from my house. Of course, the main reason that I haven’t seen many sunsets is that I can’t see the sun set through the clouds. I do recall taking one photo of a sunset during the winter, but that was at 2:30 in the afternoon when I saw the sun setting over Tórshavn from the southern part of Eysturoy.
So, here are two Norwegian sunsets. For me, these represent, more or less, a year’s worth of sunsets, so please pardon the many similar photos.
