In the north of Norway, we have an expression that describes the special light that occurs during the polar night season. “Blåtime”, directly translated “the blue hour”. Today it was breathtaking!

Wow. Gorgeous.
It’s a beautiful time of year.
The word that comes to mind is “enchanting”
Yes, it is!
It is stunning and so festive. Miss you. Happy holidays!
Happy holidays 🎄❤️🎄
And all other hours in the day? any name? or just basic “mørketida”?
There are no other names that I know of, but the pattern in the day is from coal black, to the blue hour, and then a lighter blue sky at around 11 am, back to dark blue, and on to black again. Thanks for asking.
Wow, sounds exciting, but I know it is not easy to live through those months. Do you have your survival strategies? 🙂
We take fish oil for vitamin D, go for walks in the lightest part of the day, and look like raccoons with our dark circles under our eyes 😂
Oh, I remember this period of turning lightly greenish in our faces😆 I would always try to get away for some weeks to some sunny place.
Breathtaking is correct! Although, I’m sure it gets old, considering that is day and night!
Yes, it is cold and we have snow 7-8 months of the year.
That might be enough to cure my snow loving gene. But I think the dark would be the hardest thing.
