At the end of March, the window of the dark sky is getting shorter. I caught this incredible show around 11.30PM, after 2 hours of waiting in the cold. I witnessed the lights kicking behind me toward South, in the wrong direction. With patience, they eventually came above my head and shifted toward North behind the mountain top. I was thinking of going there early and find a great composition, but this area is a tiny arm linked to the fjord water. The tides come up and down, and it was really hard to stick to one composition because everything was changing shape as the water level was slowly changing.

Often, I take my backpack and my tripod and venture to a place where I drive past before and think: ''One day, I should stop by this little beach and spend few hours to shoot and wait the the lights." I usually do it as soon as I find time off, and being able to be in such place with deep silence and only the waves crashing against the round boulders by the sea. This place is quite unique as we find such boulders only within few hundred meters in a really particular place by the beach. I learned not long ago that they take this shape not because they are polished by sea water, but by the river flow coming from upstream which explain why you only find them in such a small section of this coastal area.
