The Midnight Sun
An otherwise ordinary sunset, except that the sun never set. This shot was taken at midnight at sea above Honningsvag, Norway, near Northkapp, the northernmost point on the European continent. We were above the 71st parallel, well north of the Arctic Circle. Although the sun never did set, it did hide behind clouds and made intermittent appearances. We even had one good snowstorm while in port. The locals like to say they have 9 months of winter and 3 months of sub-optimal skiing conditions.
I'm back now for a while and am hoping to slowly start to catch up. We'll be taking off again in a few weeks.
