Look at this fiery PHOENIX lightning up the sky above Norway… It’s mythical!

On November 10, 2018, the amazing aurora show over Senja, Norway was nothing short of magical. After waiting a few hours in the cold this image appeared out of nowhere. Huge colorful pillars taking the shape of a fiery bird floating in the sky… Like a mythological phoenix arising from the ashes of its predecessor!

As Adrien Mauduit explains:”The lights started very early (6pm) as a stable arc on the northern horizon. As it had all completely cleared up and started in a very good manner, I drove to the fjords to get some shots. As I arrived there it started developing already and danced for a bit. It rapidly died out into a faint pulsating aurora for at least 2 hours. I decided to take a few time lapses in the meantime and moved around a lot. However I felt like it was far from being over!

I moved to Meforjdvær for the rest of the night around 10pm. I started shooting a milky way and aurora timelapse as the latter was very faint. Around 11pm though a faint band in the south moved northwards to zenith and developed into a first beautiful corona, but once again not fully blown. A few minutes later though it came back with full intensity and this image appeared. Huge colorful pillars taking the shape of a fiery bird.
