Northern Lights above Lofoten
Explanation: The Aurora Borealis or northern lights are familiar visitors to night skies above the village of Reine in the Lofoten Islands, Norway, planet Earth. In this scene, captured from a mountaintop camp site, the auroral curtains do seem to create an eerie tension with the coastal lights though.
A modern perspective on the world at night, the stunning image was chosen as the over all winner in The World at Night's 2016 International
Earth and Sky Photo Contest. Selections were made from over 900 entries highlighting the beauty of the night sky and its battle with
light pollution.

It doesn't appear one might find himself there by chance. Quite off the beaten track -
Reine.
Nice Job!

Neon lights high above our heads! Imagine, 10,000 years ago, what we (they) thought on seeing such things!
