Tromso December 2008

The intention was to try and take some photographs of the Northern Lights - and the few quiet days between Christmas and New Year seemed like a good time to try and do this - and Tromso seemed like a good location. I think it's the most northerly place I can get a direct flight to from south-east of England.

Unfortunately neither the weather (it was Tromso's warmest late December for 25 years - which meant lots of low cloud) nor the aurora (at it's lowest possible activity) co-operated. The Northern Lights will need to remain on the wish list for another year.

It was interesting being that far north (c. 70 degrees) in late December - and seeing that it really doesn't ever get light!
