Norwég, hefts 2006: Trondheim

I'm often asked by otherwise intelligent people, "Norway? Isn't it cold?" The answer, of course, is that it's cold in the winter and mild in the summer. This year, temperatures there were high enough to qualify as "warm". Indeed, when I arrived in Trondheim at the very end of August it was a balmy 21° C and all the inhabitants were sunning themselves and getting outside some serious ice cream. When September arrived I was in arctic Bodø, and it was still about 20° C. I would be posting a picture of the northern lights here, but my camera was too feeble to record the display; instead, here's a nice photo of the old warehouses by the River Nid in Trondheim, in the late-summer sun.
