A magical world is how you can describe the forest and the snowy cottage in this picture. The subtle and beautifully formed northern lights dancing above the landscape complete the fairy tale image.
I captured this special moment in Swedish Lapland, just below the Arctic Circle. Far away from any form of light pollution, this was the ideal place to capture the Aurora Borealis.
This shed gives just that extra atmosphere that makes the image truly fairytale-like.
