Downtown Honningsvåg in the Rain

where I liked the orange umbrella across from the orange house.....
Considering that our cruiseship with about 2000 guests is tied up in the harbour, there were only few around who enjoyed this colourful remote "city".
Honningsvåg is the northernmost city in mainland Norway. It is located in Nordkapp Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county. Honningsvåg was declared a city in 1996, despite its small population. of 2,484 (2017) .Honningsvåg is situated at a bay on the souteastern side of the large island of Magerøya, while the famous North Cape and its visitor center is on the northern side of the island. Honningsvåg is a port of call for Hurtigruten Coastal Express.

    So cosy, pleasant and comfortable! I like such houses and streets like this one! They are far away from the hectic pace of our time - and to enjoy this sometimes is so important for our souls!
    Warm greetings, Sabine

    It never rains in northern Norway, sometime it snows.

    We both had a similar idea - I was looking for the orange dressed people from our cruiseship on Feb. 24, 2023 (only ~500 passengers, all equipped with orange jackets). The viewed angle is almost the same. best regards, dieter

    Les couleurs de ces façades et le parapluie apportent une touche de gaieté à cette atmosphère typiquement nordique et pluvieuse très bien rendue par ton cliché .

    Même sous la pluie, cette rue bordée de maisons colorées est belle. J'aime le rappel de la couleur du parapluie orange avec la façade en vis-à-vis.
    Amitiés

    Not everyone can cope with the rain and then prefers to stay indoors. You have provided us with a beautiful view from the city.
    Have a nice sunday
    Matthias
