Ugle­da­len – 16th Novem­ber 2017

A small val­ley, not too far from Lon­gye­ar­by­en. But not too clo­se eit­her. Com­pared to the polar night far away from any arti­fi­ci­al light, Lon­gye­ar­by­en is still bright as day – well, almost.

With the­se 3 images, I try to give a more or less rea­li­stic impres­si­on of what the polar night actual­ly looks like. I guess that is hard­ly pos­si­ble, with a pho­to on a screen. The pho­tos are still too bright, but when I make them even dar­ker, then you will pro­ba­b­ly think that I have pho­to­gra­phed black squa­res … when you are out in this land­scape for a while, then your eyes are get­ting used to it to some degree and you can still see a lot! Cer­tain­ly enough for gene­ral ori­en­ta­ti­on.

Things are dif­fe­rent when it is clou­dy and win­dy, with drif­ting snow. Then: dark­ness is dark­ness is dark­ness.
