Jumping above the Artic Circle for finishing 2010

Tromso at this time of the year is magic: no more sun, but just 3 or 4 hours of low light everyday. Snow everywhere, many islands, few people, good weather most of the time we were there. You end up sleeping 12+ hours a day (which in my case is nothing new, but for other people can be quite disturbing!) and enjoying the little light we had as a precious moments.

We did see and shoot some amazing Northern Lights. But by the time we figured out how to take a jumping pic under them (tripod, long exposure, additionnal flash synchronised with the jump)... they were gone. Next time we'll be ready !

The picture below was taken outside Tromso, in a Fjord where we spent a day in a Cabin along with some cheerful Erasmus students and couchsurfers.
