Norwegian wintertime

   When this project was starting, I was afraid of long northern nights and depressing lack of light. And how things are really going? Gloomy cloudy weather persists for several weeks in Poland. It's needless to say, just look out of the window. Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria suffer extraordinary snowfalls.

   This photo was taken on February 22, just after the middle of the winter. Flowers outdoor are tired but still alive! 

   The only difference between summer and winter in harbor is that summer cruise ships have been replaced by tugboats and instead of crowds of tourists one can see only a few residents.  

   Winter in Stavanger seems to be quite nice. There are no "polar nights", for sure.  Only a salty residue of ice on the Sola Beach suggests that this is wintertime.
