The main city center of Tromsø is actually on the island of Tromsøya (Romssasuolu in the Northern Sami dialect of its first nation inhabitants). In the photo above, the island and thus main city center is to the left, taken as we pulled into the port. Leaving, a few hours later, we passed under that bridge you see above, and during our several-hour port call we walked a bit more than halfway across that bridge, on the other (mainland) side of which is the iconic church you’ll see in some photos below.
This is only the sixth post we’ve shown you from Tromsø, where my photo time-stamps tell me our boat pulled in right around 2:30PM on the 24th of January. The center circle photo above, and the panorama below, were taken just before Gary & I began our roughly two-hour stroll through the lingering mid-afternoon dusk to dark of the city at that time of year. Since many of you fabulous readers are in locations where it’s now getting hotter by the day, I figured a reminder of cool winter evening-afternoons might be welcome :-).
(so much world, so little time....)
