Witnessing a night of aurora borealis show for hours on end with ever changing plumes and shapes, hues and intensities of those raging lights is an experience nobody forgets, especially not if it was the first real aurora. I mean I had seen instances before but never so bright and clear, so pronounced and prolonged.
Reine setting the stage for a Wagnerian celestial scenario very reminiscent of Norse mythologies of old.
More fun from my currently being overhauled archives :) : Reine on the Lofoten islands under a very unique and ominous sky. Those turbulent clouds reminded me of the Ride of the Valkyries inspired by Norse Mythology.
But if one wants to go for other stuff than Norse mythology, I also see a whale and dolphins in that sky :)
All of my life have I been longing for seeing the Northern Lights and no matter how often we went to the North, we never saw a real good show and then this afternoon, after Arctic night came past 2pm, we went to the Northern tip of our island at Russelv, where there are no more houses, nothing else but Norwegian Sea, mountains and shoreline and whilst we were unpacking gear, the big gig in the sky started and lasted for TWO HOURS! I am half-frozen now but have got about 200 Aurora shots in my camera!! *Does the Snoopy Dance" :D
And the best of all, the Aurora appeared as a Birthday present! :D
With this image I like to Tribute to all the Vikings...great nation and awesome history!
Valhalla:
In Norse mythology, Valhalla from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain", is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by Valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr.

Sturdy and wise.
She gazes from above,
Into the darkest disguise.
Valkyrie is thee,
Sudden and strange.
Difference is an understatement,
Where royalty reigns.
Beside a Valkyrie,
A scaled beast resides.
Ready to fight,
And to die.
Alongside all Valkyries,....

For their God these ladies find
The bravest of the flock
To aid their Odin in great war
The one called Ragnarök.
The Valkyries' decisions made
And these warriors they follow
To that hall of greatest glory
The one they called Valhalla.

Then they appeared

an armed group

In Norse mythology, Valhalla is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries to be with Odin, while the other half gets chosen by the goddess Freyja for the field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead warriors join the masses of those killed in combat (known as the Einherjar) and various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
Valhalla is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, in the Prose Edda (written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson), in Heimskringla (also written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson), and in stanzas of an anonymous 10th century poem commemorating the death of Eric Bloodaxe known as Eiríksmál as compiled in Fagrskinna. Valhalla inspired innumerable works of art, publication titles, and elements of popular culture, and is synonymous with a martial (or otherwise) hall of the chosen dead. The name is rendered in modern Scandinavian languages as Valhöll in Icelandic, while the Swedish and Norwegian form is Valhall, in Faroese it's Valhøll, and in Danish it's Valhal.
In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (/vælˈkɪəri, -ˈkaɪri, vɑːl-, ˈvælkəri/;[1] from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field Fólkvangr), the valkyries take their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar (Old Norse "single (or once) fighters".
When the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead.
Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans or horses.

Lyrics:
The seer is speaking with his gods
He will see what the future will become
In his vision all in the way will fall
Before the mighty warriors
The ritual of blood is a gift
To the spirits of the sea
They will help us reach
The place of our glory
Through the sea
Through fire
Through honorable death in fighting
We will come to the sacred land
Nothing stops us
Nothing breaks us
Our father awaits us
In the golden halls of Valhalla
Our women are shield maidens
With the power of Freya
They are fighting like the bravest
Side by side with our men
We can cross the ocean
Our ships are strong
Thor has blessed us with the thunder
Of the distant storm
Our enemies are close
They are praying to their god
I can see
The fear in their eyes
He can’t help them in this battle
Because Odin,
Our father,
Stays on our side
Through the sea
Through fire
Through honorable death in fighting
We will come to the sacred land
Nothing stops us
Nothing breaks us
Our father awaits us
In the golden halls of Valhalla
I smell blood around
Valkyries are flying in the sky
The axes are pulling my hands to the ground
But I will continue to fight!
My fate belongs to the gods
Before the day I die
I must deserve the right
To join my fellow brothers
Through the sea
Through fire
Through honorable death in fighting
We will come to the sacred land
Nothing stops us
Nothing breaks us
Our father awaits us
In the golden halls of Valhalla!

Took this pic looking over the backyard hedge Sunday night just before the rains hit. View of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Goodell Mesa on the right. You can just barely make out the oil derricks in the wetlands and the Huntington State Beach building on the horizon.

Behind Sigrid blood hammer lies the mashy coast of the East Saxons where in the the year of 894 in the common era a battle between the Saxons and the Danish Vikings took place. Benfleet was the Viking settlement but the Vikings were defeated by the army of King Alfred under the command of his son Edward the elder and his son-in-law, Earl Aethelred of Murcia. A church was built by the Saxons as Thanksgiving to the victory over the Vikings, St'Mary's Church occupies this site. On a cold winters night when the wind is blowing hard the sound of the Valkyries can be heard sweeping down the ice cold waters searching for the wretched souls of the Vikings who were lost and never went to Valhalla.
Cry of the Valkyries
Vallaha as Valkyries scream from
the depths of hell.
Charging out
into the vacuum
of an unoccupied mind
deafening all who listen
to their monstrous cry
from the bleak wilderness
called Vallaha.
Scream out to Odin
the scourger, charmer, enchanter.
Bewitched sinner sirens,
resonant, ensouling the strings
of unattended souls.
Lyrics whispered into
the trance of an ephemeral ballet
yet, appearing
epic in length and nature.
*Bill Doggett
Just been revisiting some of my old photos of the Alps. This is the huge north face of the Grandes Jorasses on the Mont Blanc massif (above Chamonix), rising to 4208m. It's one the great north walls of the Alps for climbers, first ascended in 1868. The face itself rises about 1200m above the glacier floor and still looks terrifying! I'm always in awe at these huge mountain ranges and the climbers who go up them. For several years I did audio-visual shows of The Alps to camera clubs and local groups. I chose Wagner's' Ride of the Valkyries for the sequence around Mont Blanc.
I've visited all four impressive castles of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. This one is my personal favorite. Maybe because it's tiny, compared to others. It has only ten rooms. Therefore it's not overwhelming. This palace with its Baroque facade was influenced by French architecture, and the interior is decorated with Rococo motifs from the time of Louis XV. It's surrounded by the most beautiful park, which unfortunately I did not have time to explore thoroughly.
Ludwig II of Bavaria was obsessed with the work of Wagner, that's why I included a link to one of the best known pieces of Richard Wagner music - The Ride of the Valkyries.

Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"

When Ravna was raped and brutally murdered by her fellow Viking chieftains for become to successful and popular with Odin. They removed her eyes so as Odin would not know who had killed his favourite chieftain
On fearing his revenge they believed in burying her body deep within a glacier high in the wilderness.
When Frigg finally found her favorite warrior she knew she could not bring her back to full life, and her tomb would now be her home forevermore. Niether could she be one of the Valkyrie that carried dead Vikings to Valhalla.
But the Goddess bestowed a gift on her daughter and that was of she would be the tool of distruction on any male who brutalised women and send them into the arms of Hel the goddess of the underworld!
With the end of the Viking era Ravna returned to sleep in her icy tomb. That was until she was woken again by the greed and avarice of modern men. Again once more walked the earth to seek out any who were the cause of womens pain, and they would feel the sword of ice through their hearts!
