Reflected Arcs by Ole C. Salomonsen on Flickr.The web is flowing over with pictures of spectacular auroras these days, and I have thousands just from the last days, litterally speaking, and will post later. But here I am posting a little different shot, beautiful auroras dancing over arctic mountains at Senja, Northern Norway, reflected in a perfectly calm pond in the foreground. The scene was dark due to no moon, and even if I lightened up the foreground slightly, the image may appear dark due to downsizing on some uncalibrated screens. View Larger

salveo: The magnificent & isolated monasteries of Meteora (Μετέωρα) (by … Arjun) Metéora (Μετέωρα) is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece. Although it is unknown when the monasteries of Metéora were established, as early as the 11th century AD hermit monks were believed to be living among the caves and cutouts in the rocks. The monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Peneios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The Metéora is home to six monasteries (of the original 20 that were built in the early 14th century) and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Metéora is off the beaten track (far from Athens and the islands) but famous at the same time (featured in the 1981 James Bond movie “For Your Eyes Only). Either way it is well worth the minimum of 2 days you will spend on the road getting to and from just to see the wonder of this place.

Norwegian Woods by Ole C. Salomonsen on Flickr.Shot this on sept 27/28th. Amazing conditions currently from the flow from the sun. Barely time to be home. Just have to charge the batteries and head out again! I crawled out on a narrow slippery rock to be able to shoot this. Low standpoint, as low as my tripod allwoed me. The river was very very calm, I could look straight through the surface to the bottom when the lights lit it up in the complete darkness. Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Nikon 14-24G 2.8 @ f/2.8, ISO 3200. Slightly underexposed so some noise was present, had to use som noise reduction. But overall satisfied with this location and composition. View Larger
