Above is from my camera, whose maximum exposure length is less than Gary’s, with whom I’m traveling. Below is from Gary. (That’s me, all bundled up.) These’ll view better on a full screen without much lighting around. The one above corresponds better to what my eyes felt they saw than the longer exposure Gary got. My eyes saw faint but definite shifting lights against the stars. The lights can be very subtle, but constantly shifted, at least during the two hours we watched them last night and this morning. A guy I chatted with on the boat this morning, who’s lived in Trondheim nearly forty years, saw red lights on New Year’s eve for the first time ever. At first it was easy to mistake them for fog or clouds, but then they intensified, or moved. The eye itself can’t see the colors as well, but cameras can capture them with time exposures.
(so much world, so little time....)
