Dancing Auroras

The Auroras started dancing again at the sky last night. They weren't though as strong as they have been lately, but still there was a lot to see!

Super moon!

This is how the "super moon" looked like in northern Finland this morning. I very seldom do double exposures, but now I gave it a go. I blended two different shots in Photoshop to create this dreamy scene that you see in the first picture. And it came out quite nice!

Autumn night full of light

Sometimes they say that it's cold and dark in the north. It isn't that dark if you happen to gaze up in the sky. The Auroras will light the sky with such a beauty, that no city lights could ever beat them! These photos I took a couple of nights ago at our summerhouse. The surface of the lake reflected the stars and the colors like a mirror.

Sunset at the archipelago

Nice shot from last night. We went out kayaking with some friends at the archipelago of Raahe, and the light was great right after sunset. The sea was calming down and I was able to catch this nice scene from the island of Kalla.

Tranquility

Fishing boats at a small harbor in Raahe. This shot was taken about a year ago at night time. There was some fog coming from the sea and the moment was very tranquil.

Nordic landscapes

I went through my endless photo archives on my computer and came up with these. Nice memories from northern Norway!

Icy river

A bit of something from past winter. The snow nicely softens the scene giving it a frosty and powdery feel.
