That is a stunning shot, Stewart!

Wouldn't want you to divulge any trade secrets, but I'm curious to know how one captures a scene like that with such obviously different light values so that the result is so splendidly coherent.

Well done!

That's beautiful, it makes me want to go there.

Its a great location for viewing the Northern Lights,it gives you a light pollution free view of the northern hemisphere,so long as you can get near a north facing coast and get whatever town or village lights there is behind you its just perfect.

Cant guarantee you'll see Northern Lights unfortunately but its worth a trip up for the views alone.
