Clear skies were forecast whilst exploring the Swedish Arctic Circle, so I headed out late to see if I would be lucky enough to witness the aurora borealis (northern lights).

Driving through a forested area, I found a lay-by and sat to watch as the skies grew darker. Gradually, a faint green glow appeared sinuously weaving around the stars; we watched in awe as it danced its way over snow covered trees and its glow reflected in the river. The skies and forest seemed to be dancing together in harmony.

Highly Commended - Trees, Woods & Forests
