Many nights on my last trip to Lofoten I stayed awake waiting for the Northern Lights. Sometimes I was rewarded for my efforts. Like this time at one of the lesser known northern beaches. The clouds are being illuminated by the city lights of far away Leknes. For some that is light pollution. Not for me, though. I consider the illuminated clouds as an important additional element of the composition.
