Soldagen

on film

The end of mørketid, or winter darkness, is a happy celebration. I lived in Kabelvåg in the Lofoten Islands of Norway, above the Arctic Circle. From the 6th of December to the 7th of January the sun remained below the horizon. 

​

The return of the sunlight was a very welcome one. We watched the sunrise with our internat, Trudvang. We played music, ate lunch and just enjoyed being in each other's company. 

​

Christmas I spend in Oslo, where we could still enjoy the sun. It was my first Christmas away from home, since I wasn't able to return due to Corona restrictions. I witnessed my first Norwegian Christmas and it was magical! The darkest months were for me absolutely the coziest.
