Daylight Breaking in Tromsø



See above the winter snow, 
Where the bitter winds do blow, 
How brief the rays of light appear
That strive to end the darkness here. 

Hail, the coming of the sun! 
Hail, the light of happy dawn! 
Sing! Rejoice, all Northerners: 
Celebrate the sun's return! 

           (Moira Cameron)

Daylight returns and everyone celebrates with bollers and friends. The Sun appears to be playing hide and seek with us... Sunrise...Sunset, it all happens within an hour or so at this time of year but it was nice to see the it again.


Yeah! This is the first time the sun has come above the horizon in 2 months.




Beautiful sunrise on the first day back.



First day above the horizon, what a beautiful sight.



still hanging on the horizon, but high enough to see.  From our apartment




snow may start to melt with more sunlight....until it snows again :)






Tromsø bathed in red sunset

And more sunsets around the island.


What a glorious picture painted in the heavens today.




view from the airport - cod drying rack is a picturesque view out over Kvaløya


It was a bit cloudy and cold, but we were out to see the sun for the first time in months.  The missionaries loved the solbollers as much as the sunlight

Elders Holyoak and Baughan and me, Sisters Starkie and Neal.

Oh how we missed the sun!
