Autumn is the Antidote to Stifling Summer

Thought I’d take another shot at a Still Life. The Mrs. has been staying at the hospital with her brother who is severely ill. I’m dog sitting our pooch and not getting out much. All that said, I’m doing much better than those folks suffering from the effects of Hurricane Helene. My thoughts are with all those who are suffering today.

Autumn can be the best time for mountain hiking, or a trip to the shore. Here you can experience the northern lights while it is still green on the ground, and warmth in the air. Autumn is the time for short and long trips in a kayak or on a bicycle seat. Lofoten is an eldorado for mountain climbers, and if you want to try yourself, courses are constantly arranged. Maybe autumn is the time for you to reap good experiences in raw Lofoten nature -

On a very basic level the northern lights are quite simple to explain. The lights come at night when the sky is dark. It’s like a celestial ballet of light dancing across the night sky, with a colour palette (green, pink, violet) reminiscent of a really cool fashion show from the 1980s. To the locals in Northern Norway, the northern lights are a part of life. In this area the aurora borealis has been, and still is, a fertile source for art, mythology and legends.
In Lofoten we live beneath the Auroral Oval. This is a belt of light that encircles the geomagnetic poles, and here your have the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

The green colour, the most common in the northern lights, occurs when particles from the sun collide with a lot of oxygen.
The yellow/green light is formed between 120-180 km up in the atmosphere.

Control of the aurora particles from the Earth's magnetic field determines where on Earth we will get the aurora.
The Northern Lights oval runs mainly along the coast from Lofoten to the North Cape, over Vesterålen, Senja, Tromsø and Alta.
Here, there is actually the most northern lights activity in the world.
