Tromso 2008

In January 2008, I took a course in Tromso about the music in Norway. Here are some photos of the beautiful area.

The Arctic Cathedtral.

In winter above the arctic circle, the sun doesn't come above the horizon. The "day" consisted of about 3 hours of this beautiful sunrise/sunset.

Our last week in Tromso, the sun returned. All classes were briefly dismissed, so we could see the sun out the window for the first time! (It set again about 20 minutes later.)
