Summer Light

Summer light is really beautiful, especially in the evening. I do hear that early morning light is very beautiful too, but I am rarely awake to see it. So I concentrate on the evenings. At this time of the year there are so many beautiful colours in the nature to show the light to its best advantage.

Spectacles in the Sky

This week has been quite amazing for looking up into the sky, or observing it through other means. 

Here are some photos of the Northern Lights and the partial eclipse and my contraption for watching it. 

First some Northern Lights: 

And then my camera obscura for observing the eclipse:

and some pictures of the view on the paper:

(the first one has not been retouched other than the size but the others have some contrast adjustments. The little black dots are sand, it was a bit windy.)

this was the fullest eclipse phase I managed to photograph:
