Scandinavia & Baltic States

One of a flock of 70 or so birds that turned up to feed on trees in the car park of the local Miners Welfare Club, which were part of the major irruption to Britain in winter 2016/2017. I remember seeing the sighting on Facebook Notts Birders page at 10:30 am that morning and made a rapid dash up there in the car that lunchtime, for a very entertaining and fairly fruitful afternoon's photography; all the more entertaining (?!) for having to look out for and dodge welfare club members driving in (and out!) from time to time.
Thanks for viewing and thank you for your comments and faves
This picture was taken on a blustery day on the northern coast of Flakstaoya near Myrland on the Lofoten Islands.
Common redshanks in breeding plumage are a marbled brown color, slightly lighter below. In winter plumage they become somewhat lighter-toned and less patterned, being rather plain greyish-brown above and whitish below. They have red legs and a black-tipped red bill, and show white up the back and on the wings in flight.
Öresunds bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark, it was opened in July 2000 and its almost 8000 meter long and the hight is 204 meter!
We had such great foggy conditions from Hvithamar that I had to edit more shots from this night. This one is from a moment where the sun was completely hidden, extinguishing the warm sunset light, but I think I prefer this color palette.

The octagonal baptismal font rests on eight spherical feet and eight round arches and features reliefs and a Byzantine bronze lid (that wasn't there) . It was made in 1920 after a design by the German architect Josef Franke.

Kittilä, Lapland, Finland
After spending a week in the mountain range of Finnish Lapland, I am back to my desk. This is the first photo I developed from my abundant raw materials.
In the winter, resident birds are joined by immigrants from continental Europe, mostly from Scandinavia; these Robins are paler than ours, have a duller red breast. The immigrants are also generally less tame because they skulk in woodlands, only British Robins are a tame garden bird
I visited Lista and Lista lighthouse to capture Orion and the Milky way because the sky out here is very dark and crisp.
This view is what met us when we where there. A sky on green fire. This night the sky was full of green and red Airglow. Just magical. Excited oxygen atoms release energy in form of green light. This light is extremely faint and can only be captured from the darkes skies. In this image you can see the Milky way, Orion and intense Airglow.
Picture is made from 2 images panorama i landscape orientation. 5 exposures each panel for stacking and reduction in noise.
