After a fantastic night out on this mountain the first light of day is starting to shine while the aurora still is dancing across the sky. I remember when I got up here, I found a nice spot where I saw down to watch the night sky, a good hour later an Owl almost landed on a tree just a couple of meters away, I think it spotted me just as it was about to land, it gave me such a scare since my mind was elsewhere, but it is not something you experience every day.

During a year this place gets passed by thousands of times, it might just be unassuming if the conditions are not right and it took many attempts before it was where I wanted it to be. Image captured in Sørkjosen, Northern Norway.
A very slow but colorful aurora moving over skjervøy, Troms, Northern Norway. I often find that the slower, weaker auroras is a lot better to photograph, it gives you more time to think about how to compose the image. Also the fainter aurora tends to blend better with light pollution for some really interesting colors.
