Brocken Spectre
I turned to my left and the uniformly sized water droplets in the clouds were creating a vibrant, rainbow coloured Heiligenschein, or halo. It was the first time I ever saw one being formed and the first time that my father ever saw one. I felt incredibly lucky to have witnessed this on top of Ryten.
The name comes from the Brocken mountain peak in Germany’s Harz Mountains, that get frequent foggy weather, and the elongated shadow of the one who witnesses the phenomenon, which looks like an eerie spectre.

Part of my Lofoten: Arctic Flyway exhibition through which I am donating 25% of the proceeds to BirdLife Norway, a wildlife organisation dedicated to the conservation of birds in the archipelago. Lofoten is particularly important as a nesting ground because it facilitates easy access to food and very few natural predators, which makes the islands ideal to raise chicks. BirdLife works with different seabirds and migratory species that are affected by tourism, farming and climate change in order to preserve their numbers. They educate locals and visitors on best practices, wildlife behaviour and on finding solutions as a community.
