\n\t\t\t\tIn August and September, we reluctantly bid farewell to summer, while looking forward to the juicy berries and flaming colours of autumn. And the longer nights provide a stage for the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

On July 30th, the midnight sun dips into the sea at the North Cape, and the darkness of night starts to creep down across Northern Norway. At first there\u2019s just a faint dimming at midnight, but eventually the street lights start to come on, and people start lighting candles. And then someone always says \u201cactually, I think it\u2019s cosy\u201d. But the evenings are still light before the equinox on 21 September. We may get the highest temperatures of the year in early August, but we might also see a dusting of snow on the mountaintops. This melts away quickly though, as winter is still several months away.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
