Yes, I see the face, too, Laurence. Well spotted. This picture was taken hand-held but braced against the ship’s railing. The seas were relatively calm, but the ice cold winds were blowing quite fierce.

There’s a ghostly face in the cloud. See it? Very apt on the eve of Halloween.

Dear Kevin,
Such an amazingly clear, beautiful night shot. So calm, serene and awe-inspiring.
The snowy mountains in the background adds to the character of your work, across the glass-like, calm body of water that shows up all the reflections of what is going on there. The aurora borealis up above the snowy mountains in the night sky looks like a fireworks display that we can all sit, watch and appreciate on a special occasion.

Such a beautiful picture of the Aurora Borealis over the Lofoten Islands, Norway in summer, Spencer!
The snow capped polar peaks of the islands certainly stand out in the light!
I thought that Aurora Borealis occurred more often in winter, from what I have read about. Perhaps the further north or south you go, the more frequently you can see this spectacular phenomenon at any time of the year. Nice to know it also occurs in summer as well.
