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.

When the show becomes a dance in itself. Crowns above your head are always incredible shapes to witness. I was standing facing North, toward the beautiful fjord, and set my tripod and camera for 20 minutes at least, to be able to wait for the aurora to show up. It did show up, but on the other side facing south above my head. Taken by a panic rush, scared to miss the shot, I had to change my whole position, and quickly switch my camera settings to catch this quick shot.

A five hours wait rewarded by amazing light in Senja. This area is quite special, located on the second biggest island of Norway, It is not easy to access due to the high risk of avalanches around this area. Only a few winters can provide both in the same time: skies dark enough for the auroras to be seen, and level of snow low enough to get to this area safely; and December 2020 was one of them.
