Title: Pastel Christmas sunset at 12:25pm
Location: From Mortenhals, Norway
Description: Captured on the way home from a Christmas morning church service at Malangen kirke (Malangen Church). On one of the darkest days of the year—just four days after the Polar Night has begun to turn towards the light—and at the time of day considered high noon elsewhere—when the sun should be shining brightly at its highest point in the sky, but in this place is instead still well below the horizon—God paints hope and gives light on Christmas Day, at exactly 12:25pm, through a sublime pastel quasi-sunset.
