Our first sight of the county of Troms was at dawn as we entered the port of Halstad …
… I just love the blues you get at dawn and dusk in these northern latitudes. Then it was on to Finnsnes (another bridge in the background) …
… and the chance to take a close-up shot of a red fisherman’s lodge …
Then it was more deep blue sea and lovely skies as we travelled on towards Tromsø …
Tromsø was to be where we went dog-sledding at dusk (about 4:00pm) …
… and saw the lights of the city as we finished our adventure …
The snow was quite deep in Tromsø and you had to marvel at the tunnels they’d built to allow easy movement around the city. You were left with the question … why, with in a country with a population of only 5 million or so, were they able to do so much civil engineering and infrastructure work. Back to the boat and on to Finnmark, but on our return to this county …
… and as part of the coach trip, we were taken to Trondenes – a medieval reconstructed house, complete with drying fish outside …
… and some lovely moody images as the snow fell …
