We still have a beautiful late summer here in Norway; I hope everyone else has equally nice weather as we are having right now! :smile:

Here in Finland the temperature is high for the season, the sun is shining and there are very little signs of autumn. In addition, I only have two boxes left to unpack in my new flat. This is already starting to look like a home! :smile:

Finland is a great country with many fine traditions.
Saunas, for example..

Oh, yes! Rooms heated up to nearly 100 degrees celsius must be quite exotic, quite different from southern european high-huminidy and low-temperature Saunas/Baths. Combined with a cold lake they can be a bit straining for the heart though, better be safe than sorry there.

Norway, on the other hand, has talkative and friendly people, and high mountains. That's definitively different from Finland! Norway is an astonighingly beautiful country, both visually and in spirit.

A bit of physical exertion producing a lot of sweat can, indeed, be hazardous to the old.
It should be reserved for the young.

Well, the mountains are doing fine without my attendance, but you are right, Norway is the most beautiful country in the world (with the deep, melancholy Finnish forests coming in on a shared 2.place..)

It doesn't rise at midnight; it never goes down. That is, you have normal daylight all through the 24 hours.

Where I live in Norway during high summer, the sun rises around 3 I think, and sets at 11 at night, This means we have a sort of night-time (no midnight sun!), but the color of the sky has a soft blue tone, rather than going black.

I definitively agree, the most beautiful of the one's I've visited, that is. Not just to advertice my own thread, but since it came up, here are pictures of mountains and fjords in Norway.

So, who is the other one sharing the second place?

There are a few deep valleys in southern Norway that experience the same at winter's time; in the Northern Norway, where you have midnight sun during the summer time, you have during autumn and winter, the "time of darkness", lasting several months, when the sun doesn't rise at all.
That's one of the major reasons why I never want to live in Northern Norway..

You're talking about the Maoists, right?
Are they the ones that one of the royal family conspired with and instituted a massacre of the rest of the Nepalese royalty a few years ago?

Well, maybe not now, but one day. :smile: I hope the casefire lasts.
