Night & Aurora Photography – Northern Lights & City Skylines
When the light fades, colours and shapes shift into something quieter – and sometimes more dramatic. This night collection moves from Arctic aurora and moonlit landscapes to cities glowing after dark, photographed by Norwegian landscape, night and travel photographer Svein Magne Tunli. Click any image for high-resolution nightscapes, long-exposure city views and architectural details.
Every image is available in high resolution and carefully edited for rich contrast, subtle colour and premium print and screen display. The gallery works well on mobile, but if you have the option, a larger screen (laptop or desktop) lets you appreciate the details even more.
