Torget is the market square in downtown Tromsø. At Christmas time a tree is set in the center and there is a lighting ceremony. Mike and I missed it this year, but we have a few pictures of the square at quieter times. If you'd like to see how the tree was delivered to the site, check out http://mylittlenorway.com/2008/12/lighting-the-christmas-tree/. He was on the spot and took some photos with his cell phone of the tree being lowered with a helicopter. You can also see some pics of the lighting ceremony there. The top photo here is the Catholic church that is located near Torget. The bottom photo is actually unrelated--it's just a pretty picture of the trees along the path from our place to the university.
