The ice cold wind coming in from the ocean made it rather challenging shooting here, all my gear was covered in frost when packing up to leave. But it has to be said that no matter what conditions there are, it is always a privilege to take pictured near the Lyngen alps.
The funny thing is that this little river is only about 20 meters away from the main road, but when the conditions is right it is just beautiful, but it has a limited time frame where the light is just right, first two weeks in july. I tried to shoot this one year before I got this image, but the condition was never right, so after having the image in the back of my head for a year it was a good release to finally get it. Captured in Nordreisa, Northern Norway.
Image shortlisted for Astronomy photographer of the year 2014. Captured in Steinsvik, Troms, Northern Norway during a strong aurora flare that lasted only a few minutes. The figure on the right side is my brother searching for his lost lenscap. He did throw a few cursewords after he missed out on capturing most of this flare, but in the end it provided quite the laugh.
