I was informed that many of these countries above the Artic Circle are "Lands of the Midnight Sun!" However, Norway is the one we associate with this honor. Mike, Joani, Jim, Elaine, Milt, Michelle, and Peyton came through this round on the correct side.
Apologies to Elaine who had Poland right last week but was not credited in the blog!
"Arc de Triomphe Unfurled"
This was a drive-by grab shot. We had visited the Arc the previous day when there was a graveside ceremony happening. However, on the weekends they unfurl the French flag. I was sitting in a small van passing by this popular attraction and saw the waving flag. With camera in hand I managed to fire off about four shots - this one getting the final nod!
