More views of Norway

One of the last views of the sun this year. Looking from Tromsø towards the mainland around Nov. 15th. The last day the sun was seen above the horizon was Nov. 20th. We still receive about four hours of dusk-dawn each day, but that also is decreasing. (Photo by Elder Holst).
Another view of the sunset at about 1:30 pm around the 16th of Nov.
This view is from downtown Tromsø. (Photo by Elder Holst).
The moon seen over the fjord. Taken from Tromsø.
Elder Olson and Elder Holst changing the tires on the car we drive, a VW Polo. We changed the tires to studded snow tires on all four wheels just four days before we received a big snow storm. You really need the studded tires on all four wheels here as the roads don't get plowed down to the pavement and they become very icy. It is amazing how well we get around in this little car. It is great on gas mileage, which is great because gas is $2.38 a liter now (about $9.50 a gallon). So don't complain about your prices in America.
Some wierd statues in Tromsø. They are right in front of a large theater. Our car was being repaired just across the street. (Photo by Elder Holst).
