A beautiful view on the east coast with fluorescent water in blue and algae in red. In the sky, the Milky Way is seen in the Cygnus area with the large nebula NGC 7000. Low on the northern horizon, a faint aurora is also visible with nice colors and some pillars.

Folding pattern by the sea and Jupiter

Fluorescent limestone in red, calcite, in a folding pattern by the sea. Folding patterns in rocks are primarily created through plate tectonics, where the Earth's crust plates collide and compress the bedrock over millions of years. This process, called folding, occurs when rocks are subjected to enormous pressure and temperature conditions, causing them to bend and fold instead of cracking. 

In the sky, the planet Jupiter is seen next to the bright stars Castor and Pollux.

2,5 hours

2.5 hours captured on image. The Earth's extended axis ends up one degree from the North Star in the sky so with a longer exposure directed towards the North Star it looks as if the stars are spinning around it. The Vikings knew about this star and could navigate by it. During the exposure, some auroras were also formed low in the north.
