Northern Lights!

Last Sunday, when Douglas was in the Netherlands, there were very nice Northern lights in the skies above Harstad. I made a lot of pictures, here is a selection of the ones where the camera has not been moved too much...Douglas brought me back a tripod, so from now on all pictures should be ok!


It is really nice to look at the beautiful lights in the skies. The only disadvantage is that it is very cold when they appear (clear skies = cold night!).

Love,

SNOW!



Snow and the pink 'evening'-light



The quickstep..

 
The last couple of weeks it has snowed on and off, creating beautiful views and slippery roads.

Last weekend we went up a mountain in the area. At sea level there was no snow, on the top it was at some places piled up to a meter thick! We went up with Martijn and Mike, two guys working for Schlumberger and had a very good time!
The same day we had the annual 'Viltfest' at the Statoil office and it was great! We tasted different kinds of meat, like reindeer, moose and whale. All accompanied by nice wines and some aquavit.

As said, it is snowing on and off, and we enjoy ourselves with trowing snowballs, dancing in the fresh snow and walking in the fresh air. Harstad in wintertime is just as great as in summertime!

Love,
Claartje & Douglas
