The aurora season has come to an end and the last weeks of it have been.. let’s say: different than usual. Normally this is a very busy time at work, lots of tours and guests. This year it was very tough: no tours, no guests, no income. So now it is about brainstorming and developing new ideas, getting other projects off the ground a bit earlier and so on. It is a huge undertaking which requires a lot of time and yet, I have decided to spend the majority of my time home schooling my son and being with my family. There have been many precious moments during this time, which would never have been possible otherwise. For that I am so thankful.
These past months have been a very powerful time for me in so many aspects. From facing fears to reflecting and refocusing. This crisis lets us, or rather makes us, re-think and/or reassure us of our values, our priorities, what and who is important to us.
Here some photos I took ‘chasing’ the auroras here in Oulu, where I live, during the last weeks of the aurora season. Now, the nights are too bright, there are no stars visible anymore and Lady Aurora is resting until autumn.
Hope you are safe and keep everyone safe around you!
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos, capturing Mother Nature in her glories. They have been intriguing! Hope your downtime is filled with many happy moments with your family, and time for new projects.
It has been an eye opening these past few months, as to what is important in our lives. I feel hopeful the world will come out of this pandemic with a better knowledge for the future, & more compassion for one another. Life was definitely changed, but not all bad. It has brought the people of the world closer together in many ways! Please stay safe😊
Hi Kathy, thanks for your comment. Eye opening is a very fitting expression for this. Yes, I hope so too that the world is coming out of this wiser and more appreciative of others around us and what we have 🙂
