NORWAY ~ Aalesund ~

 .... A wonderful nightview of Aalesund seen from Aksla viewpont... a hill that offers stunning views across the town and surrounding islands... with as extra bonus one of the planet's most awe-inspiring natural wonders, the Aurora Borealis... a fantastic luminous greenđź’š... there have been many myths about the Northern Lights... the people of Norway thought the lights were dead warriors fighting... Alesund is spread over several islands stretching into the Atlantic ocean with the spectacular Sunnmøre Mountains as a backdrop... known as one of the best small sea ports in Europe... and it’s the perfect base from which to explore the Norwegian fjords and mountains... Thanks a lot Tone!(✿ ♥‿♥)
