The autumnal equinox marks the beginning of the dark season in Norway, and the tradition is to celebrate the harvest and prepare for winter. The days grow shorter rapidly after the equinox, and by October the sun sets before 6 PM even in southern Norway. The tradition is to store food, prepare the home, and enjoy the last days of autumn color in the forest. The Norwegian concept of "kos" (coziness) becomes especially important as the days grow shorter.
You encounter the iconic African lions, African elephants, and Cape buffalo across South Africa's national parks and reserves. You commonly see pet dogs, cats, and parrots kept as household companions throughout South African homes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
