Yesterday the sky just exploded over my hometown Molde in Norway 🙂
I have never seen the Northern Lights so powerful and wild!
The Northern lights dances over Molde, Norway

The Auroras corona was at one point straight above me 🙂

Here is a timelapse compilation i made from the area i live in 🙂
Enjoy 🙂
Video above: Timelapse i took when my car was stuck
So, the other night I was Aurora Hunting close to my home, and IÂ had to drive down this steep hill to get to my location.
I figured it was okay to take the risk, since there was ice to be seen on the road.
After almost driving down the entire hill, i turned the corner and guess what, solid ice covered the road..
My car started slipping slowly on top of the ice, and i had no way of turning around.
So I said to myself – Okay, lets just drive down there, do the shoot, and deal with eventual problems getting back up the hill afterwards.
I made it down the hill, did my shoot,ended up with boring aurora shots, saw that it was getting late and decided that I had to go back home.
I packed up my stuff, got in the car and started driving. And got stuck, really bad.
After spinning my wheels for a bit, I got out of the car and called my girlfriend to tell her I was going to be late.
As I hung up, IÂ noticed the sky had exploded into a green aurora storm.
I grabbed my camera, and walked back down to the spot i was earlier on the evening.
I put my camera in time-lapse mode, and went on figuring out how to get my car back up the hill.
Since i was lucky, I found a shovel in a nearby building and borrowed it so that I could throw sand from a nearby river onto the icy road.
It took me nearly two hours of digging and trying, but I did eventually get the car loose and drove up the hill.
Now I just had to walk back down the steep hill to get my camera, which had recorded a beautiful time-lapse as I was working.
I guess sometimes stuff happens for a reason 🙂
Here are also some pictures i took 🙂

Hi there!
Its been a while since I’ve last been out shooting pictures, but today i just knew there would be a nice sunset 🙂
I packed my cameras and drove a short drive to Nesje, to see if I could capture the beautiful sunset as the sun went down behind the mountains and Molde.
These are my two favorite pictures from todays shoot 🙂
