MS Havila Capella 2023
Folder: "Riksvei 1"
Vadsø morning
The airship mast on Vadsøya was used by Umberto Nobile and Roald Amundsen on their North Pole expedition with the airship Norge in 1926, and again in 1928 by Nobile with the airship Italia.
Prestøya
SC 69- Seasons
Autumn colour in Kirkenes, in the far northeast of Norway near the Russian border. The shore of Prestøya is known for its many seabirds (wrong season, I only saw eiders and sandpipers) and is a joy to explore at low tide. Vegetation is mainly birch, arctic willow and a few rowans, and lots of berries (crowberry, blueberry and whortleberry) and mushrooms/toadstools in autumn.
Friendly trolls
SC70 - What makes you smile?
Alternatively- Northern Lights (clickable). I always have a near demented smile plastered on my face whenever they move over the night skies;-)
Make the North Great Again!
Vardø, Norway's easternmost town, is only 35km from Russian waters. The large radar domes are officially there to monitor space debris....
Melkøya
Melkøya LNG processing plant lies on an island off Hammerfest and is the end point of a 168 km long pipeline from Snøhvit gas field in the Barents sea.
The huge LNG tanker is the ARCTIC LADY:

Nördlicher Nachthimmel
Shot with Irix 15mm f/2.4
On the Northern Lights Highway
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!
Light in the Dark
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.
