Colourful houses in Tromsø, Norway
This photo of Tromsø probably wasn’t taken in December. This time of year - from late November to late January - this city in northern Norway is plunged into the darkness of the polar night. Tromsø’s far enough north that as the winter solstice approaches - and for weeks after - the sun never rises fully above the horizon. Add to that the mountains that surround the city and you end up with just a few hours of blue twilight during what would normally be daylight hours.
