Tromsø: Aurora over Kvaløysletta and the city

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0100

On the fourth night, the aurora reached into the settled landscape of Kvaløysletta. Moonlit cloud, calm water, cabins, sheds, and the lights across Tromsø give each frame a fixed horizon while green bands sweep and split above it. The strongest displays appear almost architectural, rising behind wooden buildings before widening over the fjord. This final sequence brings the Arctic sky closest to everyday life.

Tromsø: Aurora in Tromsø, Håkøybotn and Brokskar

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0100

The evening starts under Tromsø’s streetlights before moving south and west to darker shores. At Håkøybotn and Brokskar, green and violet curtains rise behind bare trees, stretch above snowy ridges, and reflect faintly in still water. Repeated viewpoints make the aurora’s movement visible: narrow rays gather, open into a broad arc, and dissolve into softer light across the mountains.

Tromsø: Aurora in Ersfjordbotn and Grøtfjord

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0100

The first night west of Tromsø began beneath cloud and grew steadily brighter. Green arcs formed over Ersfjordbotn, gathered around mountain peaks, and broke into faster folds of light at Grøtfjord. Roads and village lamps anchor the final panoramas, giving scale to the sky and tracing the shore below. The sequence records the aurora changing from a distant ribbon into the dominant presence overhead.

Gdańsk Autumn Nights

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0200

Three autumn nights trace a route out from central Gdańsk. The warmly lit tower of St Catherine’s rises over the street; at the coast, a long exposure turns moving water and cloud into bands of blue; beyond the city, a wet track crosses dark fields beneath a faintly starred sky. The series is held together by artificial light meeting unsettled weather.

Sunsets in Gdańsk

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0200

This ongoing study follows evening light around the edges of Gdańsk: Górki Zachodnie, Nowy Port, Westerplatte, and the harbour approaches. The sun appears through grasses and branches, beside navigation lights, over waves, and beyond long stone breakwaters. As colour drains from the sky, cranes and passing ships take over, extending the sequence from golden hour into blue-hour industry.

A Weekend In Venice

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0100

Venice after dark is less about grand vistas than pools of light. A crescent moon hangs over a domed roof; decorations lead toward a small bridge; a gondola crosses black water with San Giorgio Maggiore beyond. The Bridge of Sighs and narrow lanes emerge from deep shadow, while lit windows repeat across a canal. Winter gives the city’s colour and reflections space to breathe.
