Northern Lights Norway 18:12:15

Margret Attwood has written that “ Turning to face the North, we enter our own unconscious. Always, in retrospect, the journey North has the quality of a dream “

 

Certainly when I took this photograph at eleven minutes past midnight standing in the bitter cold it had a dreamlike quality. After weeks of anticipation the Northern lights had actually appeared. I accept the quality of the shot is far from perfect the lens I was using an 11-16 mm has distorted the buildings. (And yes I have done all I can in Lightroom to address this) . I should have gone and got another lens from the hotel but honestly it never crossed my mind at the time.

At the end of the day I was happy I managed some sort of image and the important thing was just too enjoy one of natures great spectacles
