Amazing nature

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 11 January 2023 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

For this weeks AM3 prompt Nightfall.

I took this on our amazing trip to Norway. We were on a cruise to Tromso in November last year in the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. We took a coach trip into the countryside to a dark sky area the night we docked and as we were traveling the coach driver stopped the bus and suggested we get out and look. We were treated to this incredible sight, and to add to it one of the nearby farms must have had dogs, because when the lights began to show more vivid the dogs began to howl like you would expect a pack of wolves. This really was one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed and for my wife and I a bucket list event ticked off as well as something we will never forget.

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

Aurora Borealis is awesome sight. Revontulet is how we call them in Finland.

Indeed, I think it is the most beautiful natural phenomenon that exists (being somehow supernatural).
It must be difficult to photograph, but here it's done very well, especially with the colour of the road at the bottom: superb!
