Short winter break in Eigeroy

We made a short journey south to spend a few days on Eigeroy, a little island 15 minutes fromEgersund. A small rocky island scattered with farms, small idyllic houses and cabins. The night was surprisingly dark being so close to Egersund. Depending on the weather, the day can be filled with trekking and exploring the nook and crannies nearby. There is also a lighthouse on the shore about an hours walk away.

Clear sky nites around the cabin in Eigeroy ... Milkyway and aurora would be spectacular from such a dark spot.

Sele Havn Aurora

Approximately a week after the Tungenes aurora, another clear sky "event" was to be had. This time a less light polluted site was chosen - Sele Havn. It's probably the most intense show yet this far South for 2015. It was also almost full moon, an almost perfect combination of high activity, faster than usual shutter speeds, and lower ISO overall ... :)

The action was also captured on (HD) video.
