Description
Close to Leknes we passed by landscapes lit by what I thought was a sunset or lights from ambient light from nearby small settlements. After looking at dates and time stamps in my EXIF data back home on my photographs, I realized what I had witnessed was Northern Lights hid behind cloud banks. Long exposure photography revealed the colors.
I loved the coastal ice with broken fissures along the shoreline highlighting the shoreline bushes. This Leknes, Norway photograph was taken at midnight, 2 days after the sun had begun rising over the horizon. after being below the horizon for a month.
Note the lack of trees in the landscape. I assumed while there, it is because the islands are subject to high winds, and found out it isn't because the mountain elevations are too high either. The highest mountain elevations are under 4,000 ft. Doing research, the lack of forests and tree forests is a result of deforestation caused by humans and over grazing by deer, reindeer and sheep for example in the 19th and 20th centuries. With education of good forestry practices the forests are beginning to return.
