Brief moments with nature at it's wildest. Sometimes that's a snow storm, sometimes an aurora storm.
Gotta be ready for anything in the north.
Icy light at the end of the day. Well, 2pm is the end of the daylight here :)
Stunning purple skies today, but the clouds came in before the aurora could line up with the purple hues.
Sometimes the colours up here in winter are just ridiculous. This morning we got a glimpse of the pre-dawn colours outside the cabins.
I actually dialled down the saturation because it looks too intense for any reasonable person to believe it's real.
By lunchtime the bright glow in the south was starting to peak. We're a little early for the sun to make it over the horizon, and yet the landscape still shines with the most gentle light bending through the sky.
It's been a pretty awesome day. Making friends with reindeer, meeting some amazing Sami folk, and finished the day with king crab pasta back at the cabin.
No photos of the pasta sorry!
Chased a few mountains yesterday. Good times :) This was a pano stitch with my 100mm lens, because I was too lazy to pack a 50mm this trip!
@ewen why is the smoke coming out of the chimney green? Something fishy going on?
Exhaling the spirits!
@ewen fabulous shot Ewen!
Even on a low KP night we get a little something to work with up here. This was about KP2.
... Followed by a metre of snow over the next 36 hours!
@ewen yikes!
@ewen Sometimes you just have to make do with what nature throws at you.
Nice job making do
@ewen
i believe it. once you have seen a winter sunset or sunrise over Oslofjord, you know that the Scream by Munch was very accurate. This picture is from my phone, but it's pretty much how it looked (Dec. 8). Sometimes it's just magical.
@ewen Lovely shot!
@ewen @jfk Nice. I looked at that photo and thought #SilentSunday
@ewen fantastic shots man!
Thankyou!
@ewen@photog.social Beautiful photos. Have a wonderful time
@ewen My son in laws cousin has a Reindeer Farm in Germany on the border with Denmark.
"Sometimes the gods have no taste at all. They allow sunrises and sunsets in ridiculous pink and blue hues that any professional artist would dismiss as the work of some enthusiastic amateur who’d never looked at a real sunset. This was one of those sunrises. It was the kind of sunrise a man rises and looks at and says, 'No real sunrise could paint the sky Surgical Appliance Pink.'
Nevertheless, it was beautiful.*
*But not tasteful."
- Terry Pratchett, "Thief of Time"
@ewen Great wallpaper...
Good call!
