A video of still frames taken of the aurora and stars in Tromso, Norway.

Star Trails

Some star trails looking south from near Tromso. You can see the bright light of Jupiter top left, and the constellation of Orion is bottom right of centre, just scraping along the horizon. The trails appear almost horizontal at this point due to the unique geometry of spherical globes.

Aurora Spikes

Spikes of green and red can be seen in this shot of the Aurora Borealis. The light is so magical and enchanting as it dances across the sky. Here is a link to a documentary by a local photographer Ole Salomonsen on the aurora. http://tv.nrk.no/serie/jakten-paa-nordlyset Not sure how long it will be available online, but well worth a look to see some amazing footage.

Cable Car

I took the cable car to see the view from the top of the hill.

Aurora Borealis

An hour's drive northwest of Tromsø with greenfoxguiding we came to this quiet spot by the arctic sea and waited patiently in the cool wind for the magnetic sky show to begin. We were graced by a wonderful display.

Polarlys

The Hurtigruten ship MS Polarlys and her crew pose for a photo before departing the port of Bodø on the northbound trip to Tromsø. The journey was delightful and the ship a veritable luxury cruise liner.

God Jul! (Merry Christmas)
