Norway's Midnight Sun

Holding the Midnight Sun

Norway was our destination.  My husband and I spent two weeks exploring the cities of Bergen and Trondheim as well as the Islands along the western fjords.  Our Norwegian relative tour guides told us we could not leave Norway without experiencing their midnight sun. We searched for the best place on one of the Islands and found it!

The midnight sun was glowing across the horizon off the coast of Norway deep into the summer night.  There was a thrill just for being on top of ancient rocks that lined the coast of the Atlantic as the light was starting to fade in the distant horizon.  Our words and laughter seemed to echo across the rocks as the waves crashed high into the air.  We were not only enjoying the view but the sounds and smell of the open air of the salty ocean.  

The glowing sun became a light in our hands as we stood and faced the camera.  As a couple we “held” the sun gently surrounded by our linked hands.  Norway in that moment  instantly became my favorite travel destination.
