I was walking around in a wilderness located in Finnish lapland when the sky was mostly covered in auroras. I was about to head home as the auroras didn't seem to get any better and there was also some clouds in the northern side of the sky. I started slowly walking towards home, but saw some faint red auroras located south behind the hills and that's when I chose to walk to the hills instead. With my both legs completely buried in the snow it was difficult to move, but soon as I arrive on a good spot the aurora gets really bright with the blood red colors being just as vivid as the greens.

• Biography
  Dennis is a 29 year old photographer from Finland who started off with astrophotography. Having spent most of his life living in big cities of south Finland he felt depressed not being able to see the night sky properly due to light pollution, so he moved to the small communities in the arctic where dark skies are still a thing. He moves frequently as each new location comes with its own adventures and new possibilities for photography. Dennis wishes to take his adventures to the remote corners of Siberia, Alaska and northern Canada in the future and to learn more about these regions.
