Oslo Harbor in July after 9 p.m.

I took today’s photo last Thursday night in Norway. The weather was really good in Oslo. The colors in this picture are in large part due to the slowly setting sun. This far north, the sun doesn’t set in July until nearly midnight. Although this image may look like it was taken in late afternoon, it was actually taken at 9:12 p.m. with a fast shutter speed (1/320 of a second) because it was so light out still.

In the background, on the left, you can see Akershus Slott, Oslo’s medieval castle.
