The Northern Lights made a marvellous visit to the east
It's not every night we get the pleasure to see the Aurora Borealis here in east of Norway. Actually it does appear more often than most people are aware of, but it's rarely a "spectacular show". The few times we get Northern Lights, it's normally visible in the northern sky.
Two weeks ago we had a spectacular night, better than any I have ever seen here in the east. The lights where dansing above is and we even got a touch of purple Aurora in the sky. To make the night even better, there was no wind, giving beautiful reflections in the lakes.
Whenever we get a visit from miss Aurora, that becomes the only thought in my head. It doesn't matter if the show lasts until 3am or later, it's such a rare event that sacrificing some sleep is well worth it even though you know it will be a long day at work tomorrow!
As you see, you don't have to go to Iceland, Northern Norway or Alaska to see some magic in the sky. Keep updated with the Aurora Forecast and maybe you will be able to see it close to your home as well!
Sometimes Aurora is a bad planner though. Supposedly she is supposed to dance quite nicely tonight. Will we be able to see it? Nope. Overcast and rain is coming.. I wish they could plan a little better together!
Creating a portfolio Northern Lights image from a remote mountain section in the Lofoten Islands
During a two week photography trip to Madeira we didn’t quite get the conditions we had hoped for. Here’s what happened next.
The midnight sun has returned to the Lofoten Islands. After a long and dark winter, it feels great to have long and bright days again. Though, the never-ending light means there’s a lack of sleep!

A collection of photographs featuring the curious bears in Finland. These images were shot at the border between Finland and Russia on different locations by a pond, swamp and forest. These atmospheric wildlife photographs show the unique personalities of a handful of wild bears.
While the well-known locations are popular for a reason, I've been more drawn towards the no-name landscapes and dramatic atmosphere that describes the island. In this miniseries, the mysterious atmosphere is exactly what I've focused on.
