Lofoten Aurora Special (explored) - a photo on Flickriver

Many nights on my last trip to Lofoten I stayed awake waiting for the Northern Lights. Sometimes I was rewarded for my efforts. Like this time at one of the lesser known northern beaches. Not only did the Aurora show her famous green stripes but also a faint pink haze as you can see on the right. In addition, the clouds were illuminated in yellow and orange by the city lights of far away Leknes. For some that is light pollution. Not for me, I consider the illuminated clouds an important element of the composition. Everything together made the sky light up in an almost otherworldly display of colors.

Thanks for your visit. If you like my images, stop by at hpd-fotografy or follow me on 500px, Instagram, flickr and Facebook.
