This is a photo of a series that originated during the last night of our visit to Tromsø, Norway.
The aurora forcast for that last night was very promising, but unfortunately the sky was overcast and the hourly forecast didn't predict clear sight until midnight. Thrilled about the amazing northern lights we already saw the nights before, we wanted to try our luck again and see it one more time. So we went out around midnight to hunt the aurora at one of our favorite places and yes the sky really cleared up. We wished the aurora forecast would come true, but far and wide no aurora borealis in sight. After more than three hours of waiting and changing locations now and then to warm a bit up in our car, we just saw once a small green shimmer at the horizon. A bit disappointed we decided to head back to Tromsø. We stopped again at our last favourite place on the route back to wait one more time for the aurora.
And then - finally - around four o'clock in the morning the aurora started to appear, weaker and stronger phases alternated. And then as if someone pushed the button: the aurora was so vibrant and fast changing, much stronger than what we experienced the nights before. I was so excited and overwhelmed by the beauty and intense of that spectacle, I nearly forgot to point the lens up into the sky and try to capture this phenomenon of nature. Then after about 45 minutes it started to slow down again and after a while we decided to head back to Tromsø, extremely satisfied with what we experienced, and well knowing how very lucky we were that night. Back in Tromsø there was time left for a two hour nap before we had to catch our flight back home.
Man, that was worth every minute of wait and chill!
See more northern light impressions in my Aurora Borealis Album, hope you enjoy!
