Description
Not every day, we see the Northern Lights dancing against a clear sky and the Milky Way shining brightly at once. I was lucky enough to capture this view from a nearby river in Vadsø, Norway, and compose it with a stunning atmosphere.
As I stood by the river, I was amazed by the beauty of the Northern Lights. First, I was running around to find something to capture. The sky was clear, and the colorful lights seemed to dance, moving and swirling in the darkness. And then, as I looked up, I saw the stunning sight of the Milky Way shining brightly above me. It was a rare and incredible moment, and I couldn't resist capturing it. With my camera, I managed to compose the view, including the full majesty of the Northern Lights and the Milky Way against the foreground of the peaceful stream of water.
I drove 4652 kilometers in six days to capture this view and spent countless hours awake to capture something unique. It was on my last night in Norway when this view emerged, and the feeling I had when I saw the scenery and was able to capture it made it all worth it.
