First snowfall. In some Sámi beliefs, the white reindeer held a special and otherworldly place. Rare and deeply respected, it was associated with good fortune, prosperity and the spiritual world. Acrylics on canvas, 60x80cm

Friends. These are lots of my all-time favorite images. I'm letting them go, frankly out of desperation. You can download them all and make prints or use as backgrounds on your devices. Pay whatever you think they're worth ❤️ buymeacoffee.com/angrytheinch drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I had to put a frame on it because it's too wide. I know, it's atrocious. But imagine standing on a bridge with the aurora flowing above you, all across the sky from west to east. It's such an amazing experience.

Have you ever seen the aurora while on a hill surrounded by thick fog rising? Whenever I'm in situations like this, I think about what ancient people must have thought. If I'm creeped out, and I know what I'm looking at, they must have been terrified. That's how myths are born.

We're the species who went to the moon and back, invented cures for diseases, planted robots on another planet. We can choose to be decent people and calm the f down.

When he was still with me. Moonlit walks under the aurora. I swear I can feel him sometimes. ❤️

Our star is a tiny little dot, just like one of these, in a tiny little galaxy in a vast universe. We're sitting on a tiny spinning pebble circulating around said tiny star, acting like idiots.

As soon as the moving of the church was done & the world's media had left Kiruna, the mining company LKAB broke the news that another 6000 people will have to leave their homes and relocate due to mining. Plus schools and businesses. They knew this before but chose to wait.

It's not always dancing wildly across the sky. Not always a huge display of lights and colours shooting from west to east, forming coronas overhead and filling the sky. No, sometimes it's this. A thin green line. Flowing like a celestial river. It's beautiful all the same.

The photo I posted earlier is actually a screenshot from a real-time video I filmed of an auroral corona. As I've said before, the aurora when active moves rapidly and is constantly changing. You never know what you'll get! The shape in the pic appears at around 15sec and is gone in seconds.

When paths cross. By no means a perfect picture, once in my junk folder. But I like it. Now. The Milky Way and an auroral corona crossing paths in the night sky. Completely unaware of each other's existence. Completely unaware of anything. Just existing, then and there.

It's getting darker in the Arctic and the aurora returns. If you'd like to learn how to 📸 the show or a starry sky in general, I'm here to help! You can download my guide here: drive.google.com/drive/folder... Consider buying some coffee if you do 💚: buymeacoffee.com/angrytheinch

Laying in the tall grass one late autumn night. A purple and green auroral corona dances overhead while the moon illuminates the landscape. The Milky Way stretching across the sky, barely visible, outshined by the brilliance of the lights.

Waves in the sky. Sometimes it's so wild, so bright, so unbelievably huge that it dwarfs the mountains in the background. Lights up the whole sky, dances like crashing waves and then fades.

Better get out of the way. This part was smooth sailing but did you know that in some places they only had centimeters to spare. The church is now resting on the road until tomorrow when the journey continues. Kiruna is alive and packed with people these few days.

We are moving the massive wooden Kiruna church today here in the far north. Such a feat of engineering. 40 meters wide and almost 700'000 kilos, moving down the streets at 0,5km/h. Today I walked with the church. The mine, the reason for this move, in the background.

I once tried and failed to climb that peak. I prefer looking at it from afar with this backdrop anyway.

Sometimes it feels like it will reach the ground. Moving rapidly above you, shooting out spikes of colorful light. Deadly silent ferocious dance in the night sky. Sometimes it's eerie, almost frightening. Almost.

The Milky Way, Venus, Pleiades, Andromeda Galaxy, aurora, airglow, the Zodiacal light and an Iridium flare. All above a lonesome boat on a cold winter night in Kiruna, Sweden. Look up, there's SO much to see. SO much to learn. It never gets boring.

Polar stratospheric clouds for several days in a row now here in the subarctic. They are almost unbelievably beautiful but also linked to the destruction of the ozone layer.

There's been lots of aurora lately. It's actually dancing right at this moment. If you want to learn how to photograph the show you can download my guide here: drive.google.com/drive/folder... And pay whatever you think it's worth here 🙏 💚 buymeacoffee.com/angrytheinch

Hi friends. Been out of work for weeks which means I'm not getting paid this month. Selling a few lenses if anyone is interested. Maybe consider helping a struggling stranger out, see linked tweet. 💚 Started a new job now trying to get back on feet! I hate posting this.

It's January in the subarctic, midwinter. It's 5°C and rained yesterday. Snow is melting. Everything is fine, right? Right?

As you let your eyes adjust to the dark, layers upon layers of stars appear. And then, a bright fuzzy band across the sky. Our street in the universe, the Milky Way. Remember to look up 🌌

I got an email from someone claiming to be interested in buying some of my photos. He wanted more information so I excitedly crafted an informative reply. Only to find it was just a crypto scam. DO NOT ever fall for this. This is always a scam. No exceptions.

Life sure is a tough climb but the view is quite spectacular. Last night in Kiruna. Red and green aurora ❤️💚
