For Wordless Wednesday on Tuesday and bloghops various!
.
.
Yesterday I wrote about a walk I took in the the snow (here!) – today we are all going on one! By the way, this time of the year, the sun doesn’t appear above the horizon and all they get are four hours of twilight which is why some of the pictures are a little dull!
Ready? Let’s go!

Here’s Linky!
snow! love it
I had great fun tramping through it!
Wow! It must’ve been very cold.
It was, but I went well prepared and hardly noticed it!
That’s great 😃
Another set of nice photos in part four quite a lot of snow must had been freezing brrrrrr
Have a snowtastic week Keith and thanks for linking up every week 👍
It was well below freezing, but that didn’t matter! Cheers, Steve.
Looks very cold, but most beautiful. A country I would love to explore.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂
It was stunning, I never believed snow could be so beautiful.
You call these dull and I call them beautiful and striking!
Grey’s okay I guess!
With these photos? It’s more than okay!
Breathtaking photos, dear Keith! The B&Ws certainly bring out the harshness of the cold, don’t they?
Absolutely. Thanks so much, Nancy.
It’s beautiful in a cold and lonely way.
That’s exactly as I saw it. Cheers, Mimi.
Beautiful brumal pictures!
Thank you kindly!
Hi Keith – just wonderful to see … but glad I’m here … equally would rather not have snow later on! What an interesting name for the town Long-Year-Byen … love it!! Cheers and Happy New Year – Hilary
That’s proper snow!
It’s a lovely name – could also be called Long-Night-Byen as the sun doesn’t appear above the horizon for much of the year.
Gorgeous. At least when you do this trip in the winter you are with people who are probably like you are and not afraid of the elements. In the summer you get all those real “touristy” people, these are people who seriously want to see something. Mom forgot about the daylight. She was in Alaska around the shortest day of the year and it was like that. She was there at the longest as well and that was also very odd.
You are so right, I was taking part in an expedition! They have those extremes of light and dark there too. Some days it was pitch dark for about 20 hours.
Lovely photos but make me feel very cold. That must be Longyearbyen Svalbard. I have been there but during the summer. The most northerly I have been in the winter is Alta which by coincidence is my Wordless Wednesday today.

Thanks so much. I’m considering going back in the Summer, I’m told it’s a total contrast to what I witnessed.
It is usually much warmer and long daylight hours with the sun never setting below the horizon. In contrast, one year we were there in June and when we arrived in I think it was Trondheim they had snow the day before.

Those are all picture postcard views. Very nice. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much.
Great photos. It must have been exciting up there, but sooo cold.
I remember big blanketing snow like that in New York when I was growing up. I don’t miss it at all.
Somehow, snow seems very different there – even though it’s not, just a lot deeper!
It looks incredibly cold, but absolutely stunning! Norway is such a breathtakingly beautiful country.
It was far more beautiful than I expeced, photo’s can’t do it justice.
I had a look back at part 1. I liked parts 2 and 3 already, apparently hehe. Your photos are stunning, Keith.
Brrrrr…my hands are cold as I forgot my gloves 🤭
