Picture taken on feb 21th 2011, using a Canon EOS 7D and Tokina 11-16 f/2.8.
8 seconds at ISO 800 with aperture f/2.8
This picture was taken at a small place called Elgsnes, just outside the city of Harstad, Norway.
Towards is the island of Grytøya
Beatiful weather and clear sky made this a great time. The top of the mountains is starting to illuminate by the rising moon.
The aurora was so bright, it’s reflection shows in the small water pits

Helt utrolig vakkert Frank. Ser ikke ut til at jeg rekker å komme meg til Tromsø med det første – så jeg må nyte dine bilder :)
Jeg nyter også dette bildet, utrolig vakkert og stemningsfullt.
Bra Jobbet.
this is One thing that I would like to see in the real time !! ;)
Thanks for sharing it – beautiful image !!
What a spectacular shot!
Oh God, I wish I could capture this. Although I would set it on bulb and get a lot of noise in the picture, and my stars would probably move. Still learning how to get some of these shots. Any suggestions? This is going in my favs.
