When the moon and the sun meet eachother

If you are interested in photography, you’ll provably know what the golden hour or magic hour is. Well, in Oslo – and I suppose in most Nordic countries – the magic hour is a little bit confusing because you don’t know exactly when the day ends and the night begins simply because they overlap each other!

Facts:

The origin of the name Oslo, initially spelled “Áslo” and later “Óslo”, is derived from Old Norse.

Old Norse is a North Germanic language that was spoken by inhabitants of Scandinavia and inhabitants of their overseas settlements during the Viking Age, until about 1300.

Gradually, Old Norse splintered into the modern North Germanic languages: Icelandic, Faroese, Norwegian (nynorsk), Norwegian (bokmål), Danish and Swedish.
