Entry Description

Photo taken with a roll of Agfa Vista plus 400 negative film in finnish Lapland. In Finland, people call the aurora borealis "Revontulet", which means fox fire. The folk tale has many different versions and one of them says that an arctic fox is sweeping its tail while running on the snow, so the sparks fly off into the sky and form the amazing light. Taking pictures with films is always interesting because we can't see the images until they are processed. And here's a beautiful surprise in which the light looks like a fox tail under the long exposure.
