Phantom night light and the gazers

On October 2, 2025, in Svolvær, Norway, a little past 3 a.m., suddenly, a riot of colorful auroras dramatically appeared before the eyes of numerous photographers, as if transporting them into a dream world. It was simply breathtakingly beautiful! The sky was dancing, and so were the photographers' hands, as they all rushed to capture this wonderful moment. This scene perfectly interpreted the miraculous interaction between humans and nature, a truly magical spectacle!
