On the shores of a remote lake in the north of Sweden, not far from the so-called Blaubeerhütte, a natural wonder reveals itself that takes your breath away: The Northern Lights dance like liquid light across the night sky. In shimmering green, violet and occasionally even pink, they draw their veils across the star-studded sky. The scenery is like something from another world - still, mystical and overwhelmingly beautiful.
The dark lake in the foreground only delicately reflects the lights in the sky, as if it were too reverent to push itself into the foreground. Pines and spruces stand close together on the opposite shore like silent sentinels of the night. Their dark silhouettes contrast with the luminosity of the aurora borealis, which pours over the landscape in the form of arcs, stripes and dancing curtains.
Such an aurora borealis is created when electrically charged particles from the Earth's magnetosphere collide with the upper atmosphere - particularly impressive in the winter months north of the Arctic Circle. On this evening, however, it seems to be not just a physical phenomenon, but a gift of nature: a visual poem that touches the soul.
The remote Blaubeerhütte offers an almost perfect place to observe the light spectacle - far away from light pollution, in the middle of the rugged beauty of Lapland. In this solitude, silence and light, earth and sky, science and magic merge into an unforgettable experience. The scenery invites you to pause, marvel and immerse yourself in the moment.
This picture is particularly suitable for large-format wall prints in landscape format - as a powerful highlight in living rooms, practice or meditation areas. It appeals to people who long for space, silence and a touch of polar magic.

I then bought my digital SLR camera in 2014. The first photos..
