My owner and his wife are still rattling on about their recent trip to Norway. And northern Norway is a pretty dark place to be in Wintertime. Up at North Cape, the sun fails to appear above the horizon for two whole months. Humans have to go about their daily ‘busyness’ under a veil of semi-twilight. This could all be rather depressing, especially for a brightly coloured parrot like me, but actually this Winter light is strangely beautiful, especially early and late on in the day when ‘blue’ light dominates, making everything look fresh and new.
And the locals try to cheer up their world by placing lit lamps in their windows. Small lamps which project a message of warmth, comfort and love to the gloomy world around them. And of course, a lamp will always be at its brightest where the darkness is all pervading.
