Norway Aurora
A beautiful aurora night in a fjord north of Alta (drove there extra from Skaidi, as the weather forecast in the west was much more promising) during full moon (hence, the blue sky). It was an awesome, "two-step" display - the first display was pretty decent and actually almost tricked us into leaving by going very quiet in the end. Roughly 45 min later (not really wanting to "call it a night") a more impressive show embarked over us! The surroundings were near perfect: a couple of clouds to spice up the sky, full moon and a blue shimmer, water and snow-covered mountains due north! It was a tad too windy for my taste (no wind = reflection in water), but, meh, it is never perfect and this was already damned close and one of the best aurora nights I had during all my trips up north.
Beautiful, impressive and awesome! (had a tear in my eye, but keep it a secret!)
