| View from the place where Harald Sohlberg painted "Vinternatt i Rondane", Norway's National Painting. By the Atnasjoen Lake and Rondane Mountains. August 2024. Tenk det dere, jeg skulle ligget 10 min. fra Sohlbergplassen da tidenes nordlys hadde utbrudd, hvor jeg kunne replikert "Vinternatt i Rondane" i dette spektakulære naturfenomenet! Dette er jo i tillegg til å være Norges fremste nasjonalmaleri, også vårt fremste nyromantiske maleri, og jeg er jo nyromantiker på min hals! Nyromantikkens kjernebudskap er jo nettopp det å la seg fylle av evighetslengsel under stjernehimmelen i vinternatten! Så PermaLiv var så nær å kunne fylle vår avskjedsturne for Norge på dette spektakulære viset! Så kveler Djevelen Subaru'n vår i Gausdal, hvor Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, vår nasjonaldikter, holdt til på Aulestad, nettopp for at vi ikke skulle kunne hedre Norges nasjonalmaleri med tidenes nordlys! Så jeg fatter det ikke, dette er helt utrolig, og ingen må tro annet enn at det er Djevelen selv som står bak dette her! Skal forsøke å følge med på nordlys-varselet framover, samt prøve å se meg ut noen mulige motiv for nordlys på Toten, selv om ingenting kan komme opp mot de østre Rondane-fjellene!

Dette er helt sinnsvakt, denne auroraen kunne PermaLiv ha fotografert fra Sohlbergplassen med nysnø på fjelltoppene i Rondane og et av våre mest spektakulære nordlys som bakteppe, for å hedre Norges nasjonalmaleri!
I can't believe anything of this either! I missed it all, all curtains closed, and even a friend of my daughter called her numerous times to tell her about the fantastic aurora, but her phone was upstairs and she didn't check it before next morning. What's even worse is that I should have been up in the Rondane Mountains when this happened, at the place where Harald Sohlberg painted Norway's national painting "Vinternatt i Rondane". So I could taken the 10 minutes drive to Sohlbergplassen, to replicate our national painting with snow on the mountain peaks and the most spectacular aurora in 30 years as a backdrop. And then my trip was cancelled, as my car broke down at Gausdal, and is now on a workshop at Lillehammer!
Anyway, I would probably have destroyed this opportunity, as I thought aurora photography was about catching as much light as possible, not to have the shortest possible shutter speed, to catch as mush of the texture as possible. Thanks for informing me about this! I have the 24 mm GM f1.4, I see it could have been a little wider, but for the Rondane Mountains I think its ok.
Probably this was my lost chance to catch these spectacular images, to make me world famous, as we probably move to Nouvelle-Aquitaine in France, as Norway is rapidly turned into a balance battery for Europe and an energy colony for Germany. I should have preferred to settle in Skjolden inmost in the Sognefjorden Fjord, where my relatives are from, but even the Sognefjorden Fjord is under attack.
This autumn my beloved Tjuvåskampen Hill was killed of by the wind power plant above Odalen. I had no idea this would become just south of the Tjuvåskampen Hill, destroying the whole horizon southward. The hill that means most to me in ALL of Norway, and now I cannot enter it anymore.
So the situation in Norway is utterly gloomy. That I missed this chance to replicate our national painting under these spectacular conditions, is for me a sign from higher powers that Norway is doomed, we have no future. It was for sure the Devil itself that destroyed my car above Gausdal, as I wanted to drive there to photograph towards the Langsua National Park on my drive up to the Rondane Mountains.
Maybe I try to get to the Rondane Mountains again during my winter holidays, if my car can be fixed, and that these conditions will repeat itself then? But this will probably be my last chance to replicate our gorgeous national painting from Norway's golden years during the New Romanticism.
