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.
