This summer, I will be here for the night of the midnight sun. This is 24-hour period when the sun never sets. I have attached a picture of a post card of time-lapsed images that does a good job of capturing this event.
This is something I was expecting and am looking forward to, however the part that is taking me by surprise, but makes sense in retrospect, is that there is a gradual build up to this day/night. It has not been truly dark out in all of my time here so far in Norway. While we were in Kjerringoy last week, I made it a point to take 3 pictures between midnight and 1 a.m. I am posting the 3 images below in chronological order to share how dark it did/didn’t get last week.
The photos below, in order, are:
- A post card of the Midnight Sun
- It's nearly "dark" out
- The sun is behind the mountain. It's "dark" out now.
- A little past 1 a.m. and it's getting light out again
