This morning we woke to a misty rain falling to the icy ground, creating very slippery roads – ice with a layer of water on top. Watch out! I was expecting a gray day and not much daylight since sunrise is at 9:15 am and sunset is at 12:43.
But this is what happened with the low-rising sun shined through the misty rain clouds at 9:45 AM – MAGIC! 
Everyday life in the North Cape & North of Norway 
These are beautiful. They are worthy of a place on your wall. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thank you Pat. I’m looking forward to more days with magical light 🙂
Your photos are beautiful, Annie
Thank you, Annie.
ouf… Nice pictures but… What is that «thing» in the first one, pointing the sky like a… I mean… You know?
Funny you noticed that 🙂 It’s a stone sculpture that is supposed to be a figurehead at the prow of a ship. It’s also supposed to represent wind and the future. I think the title is “The Future”. However, the local nickname for the statue is “The cock in the Park”. Directly translated.
NO!!! Are you kidding me? 😀
Thank you Ekhaugli for these details! Have a good day!
😉
Hope it wasn’t too much information 🙂 Have a nice day as well.
Ha! An apt description, Erika. 🙂
That is exactly what I think of when I see your photo on the right (flicker link).
I’m glad it’s not just me!
The light here is stunning!
The funny thing is that the artist was surprised by the local nickname.
i must confess to being fully fascinated by life above the 60th parallel! Thoroughly enjoying these great pics, too!!
Thank you 🙂 And it is a fascinating place… year round.
Magical Indeed! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. Hope to share some more in the days leading up to the polar night season.
Extraordinary light… and a rainbow; glad it materialised and chased away the grey day.
I couldn’t agree more 🙂
I have only been following experiencenorthcape for a few months (unfortunatly I only found your blog after a brief visit to Honningsvag last February) but your pictures are a reminder of what a magical place your little bit of the world is.
Thanks for following the blog, Richard. I appreciate it. Hope you had some beautiful light in February- it can be amazing, but we also have strong storms in February. Glad you’re enjoying experience north cape and I agree with you, we live in a little magical place.
Beautiful! What a gift. Glad you had your camera with you.
I almost always have my camera with me 🙂 I was in the gallery working on putting things back together after the remodeling and turned around and outside the window it was amazing. Had to stop working and run outside to take some pictures.
You live in a god damned post card! Amazing! You could probably sell these to your local board of tourism.
Yepp, we can’t complain. It’s beautiful here 🙂
Stunning!
Takk! That’s thanks in Norwegian 🙂
Oh my gosh- gorgeous! Great, great pictures! Love this blog so much 🙂
Thank you Valerie 🙂
Magical, indeed! I do love this atmosphere! 😉
Kind of like on the set of a romantic movie 🙂
There is something so special and exhilirating about that special yellowish light one sees after a storm/rain. So special and so transient. So glad you captured it, and the rainbow shot is worthy of a photographic award!
I was thrilled to turn around after taking shots of the horizon and find the rainbow. What a treat. Thanks for your comments and for stopping by – it’s greatly appreciated.
Wow! What an amazing part of the world you live in. I’m fascinated and intrigued by your daylight hours – so different to where we live on the East coast of Australia! I’ve just discovered your blog and love, love. love it! Beautiful photographs and an insiders view of your special place on earth. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I’m following your blog now. Looking forward to seeing what life’s like down in Australia 🙂
