Apologies to all who contacted me wondering if I was alright as I hadn’t posted for a month! No alarm…I’ve been very focussed on writing a series of 10 articles on perennial vegetables, completed earlier this week! Finally, we could “bask” in sunshine again this morning after a few days of overcast and snow meant that we wouldn’t witness the return of the sun (due around 10th January). It doesn’t rise above the southern hills for 4-5 weeks here….a great time of the year as we get several hours of red skies each day. The firs(t) of many sunrises in 2021: The sun’s rays reflecting from Malvikodden: Fully risen through trees in the garden: A few pictures from when we were in the midwinter tunnel (aircraft contrails have been an unusual site):
The position of sunrise on the horizon changes rapidly here, perhaps 5 degs. every week. Twice a year sunrise happens close to the peak of Forbordsfjellet the mountain on the other side of the fjord from the house. I’d never captured this event on camera before…until yesterday:
