Hallo liebe Community,
nach dem Abendessen und einem kurzen Trip in den örtlichen Supermarkt, denn wir hatten ja nur Halbpension gebucht, war es dann auch schon recht spät und wir waren müde von der Reise. Wir machten es uns also in unserem Bett unter dem Sternenhimmel gemütlich und schliefen in Erwartung des nächsten Tages schnell ein.
Nun muss man aber dazu sagen, dass eines unserer Hauptanliegen dieses Urlaubs die Sichtung von Nordlichtern war. Die Prognose war jedoch vor unserer Anreise nicht gerade rosig, da wenig Aktivität und bewölkter Himmel vorausgesagt war. Unser Hotel hatte dafür extra eine App, die wir uns natürlich sofort bei Anreise auf die Handys luden. Diese schlägt Alarm, sobald über dem Feriendorf Nordlichter zu sehen sind. Um kurz vor 24 Uhr war es dann auch tatsächlich und wider Erwarten soweit. Der Alarm ging los und weckte uns. Wir waren sofort hellwach und suchten den Himmel durch unser Glasdach ab. Aber alles was wir sahen, waren leichte Schleier, ein wenig an dünne Wolken oder Nebel erinnernd.
Jetzt muss man aber auch wissen, dass Nordlichter in verschieden starker Intensität auftreten. Wenn sie nur leicht sind, kann man sie mit dem bloßen Auge kaum sehen. Bei starken Nordlichtern kann man sie grün mit bloßem Auge erkennen und sie tanzen am Himmel. Die stärksten Nordlichter sind dann sogar nicht nur grün sondern haben Farbschattierungen bis rot. Nun wie gesagt, in dieser Nacht hatten wir recht schwache Nordlichter. Wenn man jedoch bei seinem Handy oder seiner Kamera eine lange Belichtungszeit wählt, kann man die Nordlichter hierdurch super erkennen und auch tolle Fotos machen. Und was soll ich sagen, seht selbst, trotz der schwachen Intensität konnten wir unglaubliche Bilder machen.
Zuerst machten wir nur Fotos durch unser Glasdach der Hütte, was schon wirklich toll war. Dann wollten wir aber die Nordlichter auch in freien bewundern und die ganze Weite des Himmels beobachten. Da es draußen aber mittlerweile nur noch - 12 Grad waren, zogen wir unsere vom Hotel zur Verfügung gestellten Overalls, Stiefel und Handschuhe an und wagten uns hinaus in die Kälte. Wir machten eine runde durch das Feriendorf um die besten Spots für Bilder zu erkunden. Und was sich uns hier draußen unter freie Himmel bot war mit das Spektakulärste was ich in meinem Leben gesehen habe. Der Himmel leuchtete in allen grün Schattierungen und veränderte sich sekündlich. Glücklicherweise waren wir ja gut vorbereitet und hatten ein Stativ für die Handykamera mitgebracht, dies ermöglichte noch bessere Bilder und auch viele der anderen Gäste waren unterwegs und taten es uns gleich.
Von überall her hörte man "Ahhh" und "Ohhh" aber es gab auch Stellen, an denen wir ganz alleine waren und die Stille der Nacht genießen konnten. Das Spektakel dauerte mehrere Stunden und wir mussten zwischendurch immer wieder in die Hütte uns kurz aufwärmen. Erschöpft und richtig müde machten wir dann irgendwann Schluss und fielen todmüde in unser Bett. Am nächsten Morgen wurden wir vom Tageslicht geweckt, das so ab 8:30 Uhr durch unsere Fenster fiel. Voller Vorfreude auf den kommenden Tag machten wir uns fertig fürs Frühstück, denn wir hatten einiges vor.
Viele Grüße und bis bald Euer

Hello dear community,
after dinner and a quick trip to the local supermarket, as we had only booked half board, it was already quite late and we were tired from the journey. So we made ourselves comfortable in our bed under the stars and quickly fell asleep in anticipation of the next day.
Now it must be said that one of our main goals for this holiday was to see the Northern Lights. However, the forecast before we arrived was not exactly rosy, as little activity and cloudy skies were predicted. Our hotel had a special app for this, which we of course downloaded onto our phones as soon as we arrived. This sounds the alarm as soon as the Northern Lights are seen over the holiday village. Shortly before midnight, and contrary to expectations, the time had come. The alarm went off and woke us up. We were immediately wide awake and searched the sky through our glass roof. But all we saw were light veils, a little reminiscent of thin clouds or fog.
Now you also have to know that the Northern Lights appear in varying intensities. If they are only light, you can hardly see them with the naked eye. When the northern lights are strong, you can see them green with the naked eye and they dance in the sky. The strongest northern lights are not just green but have shades of color up to red. As I said, we had quite weak northern lights that night. However, if you choose a long exposure time on your cell phone or camera, you can see the northern lights really well and take great photos. And what can I say, see for yourself, despite the weak intensity, we were able to take incredible pictures.
At first we only took photos through the glass roof of our hut, which was really great. But then we wanted to admire the northern lights outdoors and observe the entire expanse of the sky. But since it was now only -12 degrees outside, we put on the overalls, boots and gloves provided by the hotel and ventured out into the cold. We took a walk around the holiday village to find the best spots for photos. And what we saw out here under the open sky was one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen in my life. The sky glowed in all shades of green and changed every second. Luckily we were well prepared and had brought a tripod for our cell phone camera, which enabled us to get even better pictures and many of the other guests were out and about and did the same.
You could hear "Ahhh" and "Ohhh" from everywhere, but there were also places where we were completely alone and could enjoy the silence of the night. The spectacle lasted several hours and we had to go back into the hut every now and then to warm up. Exhausted and really tired, we eventually called it a day and fell dead tired into our bed. The next morning we were woken up by daylight that came through our windows from around 8:30 a.m. Full of anticipation for the next day, we got ready for breakfast because we had a lot planned.
Best wishes and see you soon, your
Al
