Aurora Spikes

Aurora Singing

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.

Aurora Borealis

Aurora Singing

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

MS Polarlys Hurtigruten Line

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.

A beautiful old Viking ship from many years ago, now preserved in the Oslo Viking Ship Museum. This place is well worth the time to visit, the history here is amazing.

Natural History Museum

Great Hall, NHM

The Great Hall in the Natural History Museum in London. Walking around here I was reading all the signs in my head using David Attenborough's voice. I was secretly hoping to see him pop around the corner on a private tour.

The lock at Richmond on the river Thames. The cost was five pounds to pass through as the weir was closed.
