I was working in the garden late this afternoon harvesting Jerusalem artichokes (jordskokk), Scorzonera and burdock (borre) roots and I noticed the full moon rising over the mountain Forbordsfjellet on the other side of the fjord!

Harvest moon rise and the combine
What better sound to accompany the rising harvest moon than a combine harvester in the field below the house.
Moonrise over Malvik Kirke
Sitting at my desk last night I noticed the nearly full moon just appearing over the horizon above Malvik Kirke (church). Below you can see a video as the moon backlights a few spruce trees on the horizon.
This week’s fjord views
The night has become dark enough again after a 3 month pause for the moonshine to reflect in the fjord again!

Moon rise
Only 9 hours after the sun rose, it was dark again and a beautiful orange moon rose in the north east!
This week, the moon is below the horizon for as little as 4.5 hours (the opposite of the sun which disappears for a similar time in summer)…and being near full moon we get maximum moonlight at the moment!

Still hanging high in the sky at 8:30 this morning!

The pilot missed, trying to land on the reflection! :)

As we move away from midsummer, night is returning to the north!
