Time to prepare

Winter is coming. Lately, more and more time is spent on preparations; cleaning the garden, pile up the fire wood, take care of the potatoe harvest, fill up the freezer with fish and meat from reindeer and moose, check the snowmobile - with other words prepare for the winter!

During trip home from Norway the other night we discovered the incredible amount of lemmings in the mountains this year. Down in the forestland there are an explosion of mice. This also effect the number of some local birds. Between Norway and Arvidsjaur we observed more than 60 owels.

2012 - The year of the northern lights?

The forecast says that the northern light will increase in frequency the next coming years. Already this autnum the photographer Jerry MagnuM Porsbjer caught a fantastic northern light in the small village of Moskosel 40 km north of Arvidsjaur. Jerry says that he managed to catch the amazing event around eleven o´clock a windy October evening. He says also that this is the strongest northern light he have ever seen. And it contained the very rare blue color!
