The end of the season

No, this is not a typing mistake. The northern light season is coming to an end, and we will have to wait until september to have another chance...


The reason for this is that, above the polar arctic circle, there is a phenomenon called the midnight sun, which happens from the 21st of may until the 21st of july in Tromsø. However, approximately one month before and after this dates, we enter in a period called the twilight period. During this time, we actually have night time, but it is not a dark night. Specially, if you want to take pictures of a northern light. Therefore, I can say from now that the season is oficially over. From now and so on, any northern light picture I post here (unless otherwise stated) will be an old picture, unlike the previous ones, which were taken in dates near publication.
