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! 

If you want to buy photo copies up 70 x 100 cm, please contact Jerry MagnuM Porsbjer: [email protected]

A junk blog

-You cant put trash where it's already clean! We've finally gotten around to cleaning the Tourist office which has been looking more like a trash heap than a well ordered visitor's centre lately. With hair on end and despair in our hearts we've been cleaning like crazy. Sack after sack of junk has been carried out and Peter has had to part with many of the dear papers from the turn of last century. Half a ton of trash later we can breathe by the computer. Here are some pictures from the purgatory called cleaning:


A world of junk...



One of the storages before...



...and another after!



Brand new report about the effects of tourism!

Spring in the autumn?


Today is the day after the great blizzard. 

Yesterday: Troubled people. Today: Happy people!
