    Default A lone barrack in the Arctic wilderness



    Longyearbyen, Svalbard is a mining town in the norwegian Arctic. This barrack was housing the miners when some of the mines were still active. Now this city has a University Center focusing on Arctic topics (UNIS - The University Centre in Svalbard), and these barracks now house international students.
    This picture shows the barrack farthest away from the rest of the town, and is lit by moonlight, mountain sides lit by the town, and there is also a starry ski with northern lights.

    Cool shot! Looks a little desolate and remote, but the inside lights give a feeling of warmth and shelter if that makes sense.

    I really like the composition of this, and while the faint green is nice, I would have liked to see a stronger presence of the aurora borealis.

    Yeah, this is cool. These are the places I dream of taking vacations to.

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    This is just an awesome shot. The lighting is amazing where you can see the barrack lit perfectly, you can see detail in the mountain and still see stars and aurora in the sky.
    Like JAS said, it has that cold feel to it, but warm shelter to the barrack
