Last Saturday night was probably the last chance to see the northern lights in Trondheim on this side of the summer. On Saturday we still could see the light from the setting sun when the northern lights appeared, and even though Iâm looking forward to warmer days, I will also miss the darkness, the aurora borealis and the starry skies at night.
My hometown, and actually also the church where I was baptized many years ago. Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway.
A couple of weeks ago, we had marvelous northern lights in Trondheim and I had a great night out with my camera.
I tried to go to several places to take pictures that I envisioned, but the northern lights can disappear quickly, so I was in a bit of a hurry to move on. I took this photo when I was on my way back to the car to go to the city center, but the light was so amazing that I had to stop and set up the tripod to take another shot. It was absolutely dark where I stood, but during the exposure I was disturbed by a passing train with high beams on. I thought the picture was ruined, but it was kind of nice with this light in the grass.
Northern lights are not so common here in Trondheim, but I managed to get a picture of it this week. My first picture of the aurora borealis.
As the August evenings and nights darken, the Northern Lights are visible again. I stood by the lake waiting for them. And they came, not dancing like in winter, but in a calm, beautiful arch, staying in place for over an hour. An orange crescent moon also rose into the sky. All the colors of the sky were reflected on the surface of the calm lake. Otherwise it was very quiet. I will keep this memory in my heart.

I was out along the fjord trying to capture the Aurora Borealis. It was playing hide and seek, and during 2-3 hours I only saw it in about 20 minutes all together. I got some OK shots, but none of them stood out from the rest. Later one day I experimented with photo editing, and tried to make a âtiny planetâ of some of my photos, and this picture of the northern light came out very nice in my opinion. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
In the evening of September 4th, we had very nice northern lights in Trondheim, and I had a great time out in the dark with my camera. This picture shows the lights from a plane on its way to land at Trondheim's airport VĂŠrnes.
A couple of days ago I got to see the northern lights again in Trondheim. It was not so strong, but clearly visible and evocative. I was alone in Ringvebukta, and it was freezing cold, about 13 degrees below zero, so I didn't last long and headed home around midnight.
I took this photo a few minutes before "Ignore the city lights", so the description for that photo could go for this one as well, but there were a bit too many Northern Lights photos for a while so I put this on hold. I never really thought that I live so far north, but when you can experience northern lights like this here in my own city, I guess I have to realize that Trondheim IS quite far north.
I'm still considering taking a photo trip even further north to Lofoten, TromsĂž or something, but don't tell anyone. đ
On Sunday 23 October, the northern lights were once again visible in Trondheim. It seems like it's a lot more frequent than before, but maybe that's just me paying more attention. I was sitting at home and received a message from my son that someone had posted pictures of the northern lights on Facebook. I packed my things and this time I went to the central city. There is a walkway along the fjord and although there are roads and even the central station in the same area, the lights of the city are behind your back when you look out over the fjord.
Little by little, as the eyes get used to the darkness, the northern lights emerge more and more. I got there a little before 11:30pm and took quite a few photos as the northern lights grew fainter and fainter until it was completely gone at 00:30.
Even so close to the city, you can have an almost magical experience with the northern lights. Maybe you won't get to see the Aurora Borealis, but I would recommend everyone to look away and ignore the city lights once in a while.
It's the end of August and the nights are starting to get darker in the north. The Aurora season begins.

New northern lights, they have now been visible in southern Finland in March as well, and according to the forecasts, I may see them even more soon. Northern lights are caused by the increase and eruption of sunspots, this happens in cycles of about 11 years. We are now going through an active phase that will culminate in 2024-2025.

It was moonless very dark autumn night. The powerful Aurora borealis shone beautifully in the company of the stars.

The biggest solar storm in 2 years - despite heavy light pollution northern lights visible in downtown Stockholm - heavenly.
