The Norway Northern Lights in The Lofoten Islands

in steempress •  6 years ago  (edited)


The last few weeks in Tangstad, Lofoten Islands has seen plenty of rain and cloud coverage. The days getting shorter, less daylight to make the most of, but alternatively increasing the chance to see the Norway Northern Lights. I finally got to see it for my very eyes as the starry sky was as clear as it has ever been so far, offering jaw-dropping lights like I've never seen before... And it is one inspiring natural phenomena I'll take with me for the rest of my life.

That Special Place

NORTHERN LIGHTS NORWAY ONE TECH TRAVELLER EGGHUM

Stian - who runs the Arctic Coworking Lodge with Rolf - drove a group of us (5 in total) out to his 'secret place'. It was a road that I think was heading into Borg (I cannot for the life of me recall where we were), pitch black with just out full-beam lights breaking darkness. The starry sky on the way was so clear, paving the way for full northern lights shining above us.

We kind of stopped short of where we were heading to, since there were no light pollution around us, just a dusty road and land of shrubbery. As soon as we stepped out of the car however, it was a visceral experience.

I climbed out of the side door with my tripod and camera, ready to try my hand at capturing the Northern lights. It wasn't until after a minute or so gazing at the stars and the strong waves of the Norway northern lights that I got to seeing up my tripod.

It looks like some of your narrative got cut off at the end there. Cool post otherwise! :)

hey buddy, thanks for your feedback! I'm experimenting with the steempress world limit feature since I'm not sure of the SEO impact with having it all here (as much as I want).

Increased the limit to allow more of the story and images to export. Hope you somewhat enjoyed the narrative and images otherwise! Also put the video in to enjoy ;)

Keep Being Awesome,

Thanks! I haven't been able to get my SteemPress to work from my Wordpress site. Nothing shows up when I publish. Did you have that problem?
