Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway will visit Karasjok and Kirkenes on 26–27 January to gain a better understanding of Finnmark County. The town of Karasjok or Kárášjohka is a small municipality in the centre of the county of Finnmark. Kirkenes is a small town located close to the Finnish and Russian borders. This visit marks Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway’s first official solo visit within Norway.
On Sunday, 25 January, Princess Ingrid Alexandra arrived in the municipality of Karasjok, where she will spend the night on the plateau. During the visit on Monday, she will, among other engagements, visit a school in Karasjok and the Sámi Parliament. On Tuesday, the journey will continue to Kirkenes.
Gosh those northern lights are fabulous , the princess is dressed warmly, scarf is perfect in Norwegian colours.
ReplyDeleteThe Northern Lights, what an incredible sight, so beautiful. It must be very cold. She is very rugged up, excellent!
ReplyDeleteHello, @ Ava, how are you?
DeleteI am fine.
Here you can see what I had talked about some time ago, this incredible natural phenomenon , the northern lights.
Can you see the darkness all around?
Yes, there are extreme life conditions due to the freezing cold and the snow.
Kirkenes, I love!
You can't go out in such severe weather conditions unless you are well rugged up layers clothing is usually recommended).
Here you can see nature and God grandeur and I personally have always found a great sense of peace in Norway.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra looks beautiful and , of course, she can manage the most severe weather conditions as a native Norwegian young woman.
Hugs!!!

DeleteP the original 06.57 Hello, so lovely to read your informative comments as usual and great to see you on the blog! Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, its breathtakingly beautiful! I am in total awe! Yes, I do remember, this is how I learned about the Northern lights initially from you! (thank you) I cannot imagine the cold, though Anon 07.46 very kindly added the temperature so very interesting and I thank Anon for that. We have had a very hot summer, and have February to contend with yet! so the extreme cold conditions intrigue me at this point! in a very good way!! Hope you are well. Take good care. Hugs.
DeleteAnon 07.46 Thank you for sharing the temperature.
DeleteHello, @Ava,
Deletethank you so much for your lovely reply.
You know, I have always valued travels as one of the best way of getting first- hand factual knowledge and that's why I greatly appreciate whoever is eager to know more about foreign countries and locals.
I recall keeping in high esteem a few commenters who occasionally broaded the scope of some posts by adding their own personal travel memories.
I likewise enjoy interacting with polite and culturally elevated readers .
On the contrary , when a conversation derails toward bad form and is just a way of interrupting two peaceful contributors like you and me, that's completely outside my territory and my upbringing.
I reject the simple idea of being dragged into pointless and downgrading verbal exchanges.
I understand that someone here is badly in need of talking to someone else and get a sort of feedback even by abruptly interrupting a kind conversation between us.
I would have expected comments on Princess Ingrid Alexandra and the natural environment around her, but , alas, that seems to be like asking too much from someone only used to vitriolic cricism about all royals.
I just wonder if screwing up a conversation between two readers is a normal way of interacting with people on this platform?
No, I don't think so.
I trust that the blog owner will stop any further uncalled for and rude posts from this usual commenter who clearly has nothing nice, thoughtful or informed to say.
At the same time, I kindly ask Helen to remove the comment h.22:55 ,which doesn't resonate with me and is totally alien to my personality.
Dearest @Ava, I promise I will take good care.
Thank you so much for your lovely words.
Hugs!!!
👍💪👋

DeleteP the original 11.22 Lovely to hear from you thank you. In reality for me personally I have learned so much on this blog not just about Royal fashion (which I love!) but other countries, cultures, traditions of those countries, wearing of traditional clothing from those said countries, weather conditions that affect clothing choices etc... The list is endless. Importantly correspondence with fellow bloggers such as yourself, P the original who to me you have such a wealth of information, articulation and much kindness. I can honestly say I have learned so much, and don't take it for granted. Its a pleasure to correspondence with you and all the other bloggers from different parts of the world. I have never travelled outside of Australia. My learning curve, kindly due mostly to the Administrator of the blog giving grace and latitude which has been such a wonderful learning curve. Your comment is articulated well and I understand. On a positive note I would like to think that anything discussed could possibly be a learning curve for others whatever their spiked interest maybe, wonderful to share knowledge. I love to read the thoughts, kind and positive comments, bloggers here share to reflect this blog, thank you.
DeleteHello, @ Ava,
Deletethank you for your new kind and beautifully articulated reply.
You know, travelling is one of the best learning ways I know to broaden one's mind horizons- so as to say- though it is not an esclusive way to go , of course.
If only all people could have your intuition, understanding and penchant for that" learning curve"!
Ignorance is such a disgrace imo, hindering whatever sort of mutual comprehension and kind interaction.
Travels are always relative, though, what really matters is that inborn eagerness to learn, to know more and more about anything.
I am still learning plenty of things myself , I am sure my life won't last for so long as to comprise all the knowledge I'd like to get.
The key is curiosity.
Being curious is a form of intelligence itself.
I love the way you articulate your posts and I must confess I am learning a lot from your brilliant way of wording out your thoughts in English!
Isn't it wonderful to learn from each other?
Someone always asks why I introduce topics out of the box, well, because I need context, I need much more than simple fashion reviews!!
Princess Alexandra's visit to these remote regions in Norway needs to be put into a precise context, weather conditions being the only guide for whoever has to carry out outdoor activities.
Weather is a conditioning force there and everyone - from natives to tourists- have to come to terms with it before heading off anywhere.
Nature has the power over everyone and everything, you can never choose to go out there dressed casually because you can be really in danger once you have to face that freezing cold.
I had to cover my body with four layers of clothes in Kirkenes some time ago (let alone my head) and I am sure the Princess did the same!!
But those breathtaking landscapes, phenomena, indeed all the natural environment around you is so rewarding!
Nothing compares to that natural grandeur.
Moreover, I think that any type of clothes , regardless the royals involved, are not isolated monads but items that need to be always contextualized.
I really enjoy our thoughts exchange just like I enjoy discussions with all the culturally elevated readers on this blog.
Thank you a hundreds times, Ava, and please, keep writing your wonderful English posts, I am so grateful to learn from you.
Hugs!!!
👍👋
Not the place here for personal letters
ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t really matter if long-term P writes to long-term Ava. It’s rather fun to read!
DeleteOh, hello, @ Anonymous 07:36,
DeleteI didn't know you had been appointed as a new blog administrator!
Come on, let the owner of this platform state the rules, you can never have any control on them.
You know, nice "personal letters" full of kindness and good manners can be inspirational for those accustomed to writing rude and senseless comments.
Just think about it.
By the way, where is your comment on Princess Ingrid Alexandra?
Enjoy your day, if you can.
Cheers.
Yes, you are exactly right,
Delete@ Anonymous10:06.
Long - term, kind P the original- Ava interaction is always to be preferred to long- term rude comments on this blog!
Moreover, I can really talk about Norway from my personal first- hand experience.
I can see no one else making informed comments on this fabulous country.
Clothing is strongly connected to the challenging weather conditions found especially in the norternmost (arctic) regions of Norway so comments should keep into consideration the climate before commenting on the outfits.
Indeed...great and beautiful pictures
DeleteAnon 07.36 I, Respect your comment. Sincerely, no offence was intended. I would like to think, the experience of another blogger with regards to what has been discussed is a learning curve whenever it transpires in the comments! preferred pleasant conversation as opposed to some of the vitriol comments that transpires on occasion.
DeleteI will leave it in the hands of the blog administrator who does such a mighty job and who is much appreciated.
I wish you a good day and thank you.
Anon 10.06 Your comment is refreshingly lovely, thank you !
DeleteMagnifique photo avec l’aurore boréale !
ReplyDelete@10.43 - sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous 12:11:
Deletewow, now you are on the wise side, from good to better.
Provided you know what sarcasm is, of course.
Still lacking knowledgeable comments on Princess Ingrid Alexandra, though.
Dear P. The Original, I was taught by my mother not to take myself too seriously, very sound advice. How about you? I was not aware that this is a travel blog. Ava Pittman‘s comments were appropriate and perfectly adequate.
ReplyDelete🌞 Virginia
I agree with you, Virginia!
DeleteI'm also with you.
Delete@18.28- your comments simply display both ignorance and arrogance.
