This image is from the Lofoten Islands, on the way to Henningsvær. The weather was clam, and the shallow water in a small bay next to the road created this nice reflection. And there was the little detail that lends the image a touch of dissonance.

This is another image from my trip to Lofoten. It is taken on the beach Skagsanden at Flakstad, and I thought these nice ripples in the sand and the water made a nice backdrop for the reflection of the peak, Flakstadtinden rising to about 500 meters above sea level, just south of the beach.

Aurora and Big Dipper
in Photography
The aurora event I photographed from Flakstad, I posted an image from this event last week, did not last for long. I managed to get a couple of shots before it faded. And this is one of the images, with the Big Dipper (US), or Plough (UK), in the background.

And about a couple of hours after the sunset shot the aurora appeared through the thin cloud cover. It lasted for a short while before disappearing again, but I got a couple of nice shots.
Flakstad Sunset

This is another shot from Skagsanden at Flakstad in Lofoten. I arrived too late for the sunset, but this beautiful light lingered on long after the sunset. I took a few shots while waiting for it to get darker and the aurora to appear.
Flakstad Lofoten
in Photography
This image is taken from Skagsanden, near Flakstad, towards north north east and the peak in the distance is Hustinden rising to about 700 meters above sea level. The beach is really inviting, but the water is freezing cold. After all this is Lofoten and north of the arctic circle.
Aurora
in Photography
Stunning images of bright and colourful aurora displays are all over the net. And for the first time I have seen some amazing displays of this mesmerising phenomena myself. I realised that the aurora may not be as colourful to the naked eye as some of the images you see may lead you to believe. There is, and this is a controversial issue for some regardless of subject matter, most certainly a lot of post processing applied to many of these images. Keep in mind though that the camera sensor is able to record colour in low light conditions when the human eye is more or less restricted to a monochromatic view of the scene. And don't forget the artistic license.
