Contrary to what we in the tropics experience 24/7-365 day annually there are people in another part of this same planet we are living that experience it in what i called 'once in a blue moon'...that's the case of Rjukan town. according to report reaching us we're told that People in Norway gather ,overjoyed with celebration as sunlight reflected off
giant mirrors illuminates the town square on Oct. 30.
Residents of the small town, tucked between steep mountains, normally
live in the shade for six months a year. we were also told that.... The Italian town of Viganella has a similar, but smaller, sun mirror.
The plan to illuminate Rjukan was cooked up 100 years ago by the Norwegian industrialist Sam Eyde, who built the town to provide workers for a hydroelectric plant he located at the foot of a nearby waterfall.
The renowned engineer never saw his plan become reality, but his plant and the Telemark town he founded developed a special affection in the Norwegian imagination as the site of the country's most famous wartime escapade.
