✰ This photo was featured on The Epic Global Showcase here: bit.ly/1WIhgaY ------------- The Andenes Lighthouse - built in 1859, the year of the great Carrington Event solar storm. Earlier that day in Kvalvika, Lofoten we knew that there is a big solar storm predicted for that night. We also saw that the weather forecast was really bad for the whole Lofoten. So after intense investigations we ended up choosing an island above Lofoten called Andøya as our destination. That was some 250km away which is something like 4 hours along the Norwegian fjords. Of course we had to check pictures of Andøya from the web and the first and pretty much only things that came up were this lighthouse and the fact that it’s a hot spot for whale watching! So this lighthouse at the very northern tip of the island was our target. When we got to Andøya it was still clear there and the aurora show got off immediately after the sunset - a G2-class storm, the kind of which I had never seen before! After stopping numerous times on different spots to shoot and driving under the most insane northern lights we finally got to our lighthouse at 3 in the morning and we watched the auroras dance until the sun came up! It was definitely worth the intense forecast and map reading! When we were checking the weather forecast earlier in Lofoten it didn’t seem like we would have clear skies anywhere after 1-2am! Andøya seemed like the only plausible option nearby..and it turned out much better! The last night of our photo-roadtrip with @damonstah - A night that I will never forget! @northernnorway #ilovenorway #visitnorway #wunorway #igscandinavia #ig_nordnorge #wonderful_places #bestplacestogo #travelawewome #awesomeearth #amazinglongexpo #fantastic_earth #artofvisuals #bestofnorway #awesome_earthpix #awesomeglobe #nightimages #nikonphotographers #nikoneurope #nightphotography #night_shooterz #longexposhots #longexpoelite #nature_perfection #superhubs #nature_brilliance #exklusive_shot #earthpix #global_hotshotz #nakedplanet #fantastic_earth #worldbestgram by @mpxmark on Instagram.
