Rjukan; a city in Norway where sunlight is projected by the city's mirrorsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #norway7 years ago

The city of Rjukan is located in a valley in Norway, and for this reason, more than half a year later, the sun did not go directly to the city, and the surrounding countryside makes the city a shadow over this period.
In 2013, large mirrors were installed on the highs overlooking the city to reflect the sunlight on the city. Although the lighting does not come to the city, it does not take the true sun, but from the beginning of October to mid-March, the city is located in the shadow and no light hits the city. The mirrors are located at a height of 2.500 feet. They can provide good lighting to the city.

Thus, the main square of the city during the long months of winter is sufficiently bright. Since then, these mirrors have attracted many tourists to the city, but in the midst of distrust, many residents of the city have not paid much attention to the $ 850,000 project, and they are only a trick to attract tourists. The idea of ​​using the mirror to reflect sunlight was first introduced in 1913, but the towns inhabitants were accustomed to the darkness and shadow over the city for hundreds of years.

nice one you remember me my dear friend

great content! and thanks again for following!

I personally think living a life on darkness and doing normal human activities are awesome.. if they can survive easily without sun light then I think there's really no need to attract light with mirrors

Plus those mirrors only light up a little square.

thanks my friend but finally sunlighat is good for absorb vitamins and eliminate bacteria

thanks my friend for your idea But they finally need sunlight

Exactly, I mean if they don't like it then why would you live there?

Why live in darkness !! ?? Like being in the north pole where many months of the year is in darkness ! But the citizens there get paid extra yearly for living in these types of conditions ! I say to each their own ! Move if you don't like it , but how does a community even start in a place like that to begin with ! LOL! Steem on !upped and followed👍👍👍😂😂😂

I'm Norwegian and I've been to this exact spot - it's really cool and really clever because the city is so entrenched between the big mountains...could never live there though...:)
