Aurora Borealis, Svalbard

I was visiting Longyearbyen, Svalbard, way up over the Arctic Circle, when I decided one clear night to go out and photograph the stars. After I made it to the location I'd chosen and had set up my exposure, the most beautiful aurora borealis show I've ever witnessed happened right overhead. The full moon at the time helped brighten up the foreground, creating this image.


Waterfall, Iceland -WaterFalls- :-)

This is an image I have had on my mind to get for three years. To align the waterfall and northern lights that are strong enough to light up the whole surroundings. At last it happened and I was at the right place at the right time. Godafoss means Waterfall of the Gods and takes its name from the old Nordic sagas.
