Tromsø, Norway.

I made a trip to Norway in 2014. Here are some pictures from the trip. My destination was Tromsø. It's a city in northern Norway. I made my trip by car and some of the pics are taken while just sitting in my car. The views in Norway are just breathtaking!

Northern Lights

Up in the north it's a great privilege to have an opportunity to see the Northern Lights every now and then. They are also known as the Aurora Borealis. Even though they are quite a common sight here, especially in autumn and early winter, they still manage to amaze me every time as they dance with the stars.

Hazy summer night

Dense fog softened the scene beautifully at the shore of Raahe.

Home sweet home

Previously I've published some frosty night scenes of my home town in wintertime, so here are some photos of Raahe in sunlight as well. There are a lot of old timber architecture in Raahe from the seafaring era dating back to the 18th century.
