Wonderful place...where some Germans were reminded the use of the white flag in 1941.

Very interesting find. Very picturesque.

Got me thinking about the soccer field. Was it grass? How could they grow it in that climate. Searching I found that it is artificial turf.

The soccer field could have been grass, but wouldn't be usable for as long during the cold seasons smile

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

I have spent some time in Norway, but prefer to live in the mountains of Idaho. BUT, still visit now and then.

Norway: From the middle of November until the end of January, the sun doesn't rise at all, or just briefly peaks out over the horizon,

Fake news Haggart. smile
This is what happens north of the Polar Circle, which is at 66,6 North.


At North Cape, the sun is below the horizon for over two months, while Tromsø has the phenomenon for over six weeks. In Lofoten, the period of darkness is short, less than four weeks. From Bodø and further south you actually have the sun even in the middle of winter, so here the sun lights up the winter landscapes for a little while in the middle of the day.





I live in Oslo, at 59.58 North.
Temperatures in the summer can vary , but we have periodes with more than 90 F, but they are usually short.
In the winter it varies if you live by the sea or further from it.
I prefer temperatures below 32 F in the winter. Then we keep the snow and don`t have to drive in sleat and slush. The later years have been rather mild and with less snow though.
