Auroras above Mjelleby *SindreAHN

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

Auroras above the little houses of Mjelle

Shot where ?
Norway, Bodø, at the northern side, local Mjelle, at the top of a high cliff and on the edge !!!

17-9-2011 refers to the journal written

The picture was shot at 00:54AM
temperature at 4*C !

This was my start of the season shooting the Northern Lights above Bodø, Nordland my home !

The Northern Lights was quite weak this evening / night despite the high activity reported. But shit happens ! We had a great shoot with nice moonlight and bright stars upon us !
It was me and my friend Gaute`s start of the season

We drove to Festvåg, where a lot of the pictures have bin shot, but didn`t see anything but weak lines, grey-ish looking :/

So we went on driving back to Bodø again spotting places from the car. Around a sharp turn we saw the auroras was building up above the Mjelle mountains ! We stopped the car, got the gear and ran out started shooting !

The show was only for 5 minuts or even less, so nothing lasted there.

We kept on driving and saw activity was growing over the sea in "Vestfjorden", so we drove to the local place "Mjelle"
We parked on a high point where we where able to have 300* view, the only thing blocking our view was the Mjelle Mountains.

At our view we got to see 4-5 outbreaks and was there the rest of the shoot which lasted from 23:16PM to 02:45AM

Have a nice week
