It's 2am here. Still buzzing from being out for 4 hours with the nordlys. I found a quiet hill-top with a wide open sky, and watched tonight's aurora show ebb and flow. I feel so small beneath the painted sky. It's humbling and beautiful in equal measure.
My cameras were on time-lapse the entire night. One just pointed straight up, the other on the move with me to chase moments.
Night like this are nights I wish everyone could experience. Watching the dance between the solar winds and our planet. It's like science making art.

@ewen so great, Ewen! Weird to know you are here in Europe :D
In what part of Norway do you hang around?

We have a place to rent in winter, half way between Troms酶 and Lofoten. An hour from Narvik. It's very quiet here. A few of the locals are keen photographers and chase the auroras on big nights. Not many travellers here in winter, which is perfect!

@ewen oh, that's a lovely area. I really need to get back up north this year! Have fun! Your images look amazing!

When we first started making Norway out winter home (in part to escape to summer in Melbourne), I had notions of driving all over and seeing every last patch of the north.
But we found this quiet little nook, and some lovely people. And I don't really want to drive anywhere. I like staying here and popping 10mins down the road to enjoy a patch of forest, or a beach on the fjord.
I'm getting less and less inclined to make that effort to see more. Am happy with what I've got, and deeply appreciative to the folks here who helped us make it our second home.

@ewen I know that feeling. There are still some things on my bucket list, but I also enjoy my favourite spots and spending more time there
