Shot with Irix 15mm f/2.4

The coastal route between Skjervøy and Tromsø is sometimes called Northern lights highway. Most of the time sheltered by islands on the seaward side the chance to see northern lights when the skies are clear is pretty high. In this case they were weak but still beautiful. If they grow even fainter you can have fun admiring the stars. Exposure time 8 sec for the clickable note. Both photos taken with Irix 15mm f/2.4- please view on black!

A happy New Year to all Ipernity friends, may 2024 bring more peaceful times! Sorry about my longish absence, I got distracted by Xmas preparations and other stuff and will be back more fully next year.

These are actually climbing walls with mirroring panels on the other side- they catch the setting sun and our passing ship:-)
