Had to run out and grab some pictures tonight... The dancing... flashing... Pan-STARRS comet right above the horizon... the calmness... I freaking love discovering my Norway. ( Flickr: Larsenio's Photostream -website up soon- )
All pictures captured with DA10-17 @ 10mm. Composed 50/50 horizontally, the lens is surprisingly low on defects.

Breathtaking is right... #3 needs to be printed up as big as it'll go, and be hanging on a wall! I bet that one would be fantastic as a metal print...

It's not fair.

yuo get shows like this and we don't.

1 and 3 are top notch, 2 is good but I prefer the other ones.

Thank you SO much, I`ll consider that option...

Thanks a lot, I`m glad you liked them Life _can_ be a bit unfair, but then again we don`t have trains or cities worth mentioning where I live

Simply stunning. Especially #1 and #3. Lovely mix of elements stars/comet/aurora/snow/horizon orange.

The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise down from Kirkenes to Bergen just over a year ago, but sadly little time on land and often lack of clear skies limited our aurora viewing. I got a few nice images near Kjolleford and Rorvik, but nothing close to your masterpieces.

I look forward to returning to Norway sometime soon, but we cannot decide if better in summer or winter (for Aurora). Would stop off in the North (Tomso or Lofortens) if we did it again.

Thanks for keeping memories flooding back in my head.

BTW: what is light flare in top left of #3..?

Woooowwwww!! Just breathtaking shots!

I imagine early man must have totally freaked out when this kind of phenomenon occurred, not knowing what the heck was happening. Hell, it would freak me out today and I know what it is!!!! Great job of capturing it.

These are fantastic and I would show them to the wife but I am not in the mood for a trip right now.

These are absolutely amazing and I really appreciate you sharing. These capture a completely different world from the one I live in.

Fantastic shots.
This is something we do not see in Austrslia.

We certainly don't see them in Florida, either. Just gorgeous, breath-taking images!

I`m really glad I could give you some of the memories back, and I really appreciate what you write of my images... Thank you so much!
Oh, and it`s the moon. Just a little too bright for approx. 20 seconds shutter speed

Woooowwwww!! Just breathtaking shots!

Thanks!

G Thank you so much, daacon!

That`s one of the reasons they believed in nature as Gods more than now, I think. Thunder was "Thor", for instance. Wonder what Aurora was seen as...

These are fantastic and I would show them to the wife but I am not in the mood for a trip right now.

Hahaha, no you should. It`s worth the trip. Just remember to visit in march and in my part of the country, we have an overflow of Aurora Borealis in the north, and maybe especially in Lofoten/Vesteraalen.

These are absolutely amazing and I really appreciate you sharing. These capture a completely different world from the one I live in.

I really,truly appreciate the kind words. And love to share some of the wonders of nature from "my world".

Fantastic shots.
This is something we do not see in Austrslia.

One can see the "Southern light" far down south.

Thank you sooooo much
