Aurora in Hundvag 17th April 2015

In the wee hours of the morning, a spectacular showing of the northernlights not 5 mins away from home after a strong geomagnetic storm a few days earlier. I was hoping it'd come around during a clear night ... and so it did.

Here are some of the photos:

 

It was a spectacular display second only perhaps to an earlier event 17th March which I had missed. The show started around 11:37pm and continued well into the morning. by the time I left at 4am it was still there in the northern sky though not as intense. 1000 shots later I now have a complete sequence for a proper timelapse video. Let's us how that turned out.

There were also some very unique shots by other people from the Stavanger Aurora Chasers of which I'm also a member.

Tromso in February

This was our second trip to Tromso, staying at the same cabin we stayed at last trip ... The River House at the edge of the village Oldervik.

It was supposed to be our deep immersion into northern -20 deg C temperatures and snowbound landscapes. Just our luck it turned out to be unseasonably warm Feb, if that was ever possible. It felt almost May climate wise. We hardly used the bulky snow suits we brought all the way from Stavanger. We had snow (which was dumped back in Nov of 2013) and the rest of the week was sleet and rain!

The high light had to be the Northern Lights! Having been dreaming about it all these years, we finally managed a decent run of chasing the light. It was magnificent to say the least!
