The sun is low all over the north, bathing the landscape in gold. 1. Climbing a Lofoten hill gives you new horizons. @pedersen_95 did 2. The last of the sun in Alta, before it disappears the next few days. @holmenhusky.no was out training their dogs, and @visitalta shared 3. As there is little snow, one can still climb a mountain at mid-day. @mittlivute did, and was richly rewarded 4. Driving across the vast Finnmarksvidda Mountain Plateau is a golden moment, and @tereseem was delayed because of all the photos she had to take 5. A fjord in Helgeland in the glow on the low sunset photographed by @isakbrun 6. Farewell sun, says @elinoverland in Kirkenes

Cold weather, but little snow in the north this early. 1. The last sunshine in Tromsø bathes the landscape in gold. @willcopes93 went for a Sunday walk 2. In the Raftssundet waterway in Vesterålen, the days are frosty and clear @annelisestornes balanced on icy rocks 3. Alta boasts a thin layer of snow, enough to make the @holmenhusky.no dogs happy 4. Bodø's beauty spot Mjelle in low November sunlight @ingrid.moen.boerli dressed warmly for the Sunday walk
