Encounters with the sky

The most spectacular winter gift Norway gives to those who pay attention are the lights around 5pm. 

And it was around this time that we left the Henie-Onstad Art Center. There it was near the parking lot: the happy  encounter with the magnificent lights.  The moon stood right in the middle. Each time I discover these sunsets, I am surprised. I am not used to the colors.  And I don´t want to get used to them either.  I want them to surprise me each time.


The photos I made with my phone pay no justice to the handsome scenery (the pink was in the sky but not in the photo). And yet. Part of the happy moment was recorded. 

It was about -11C.  My nose felt so frozen I thought it would break anytime and fall to the ground.
