Northern Fox Fires

Explanation: In a Finnish myth, when an arctic fox runs so fast that its bushy tail brushes the mountains, flaming sparks are cast into the heavens creating the northern lights. In fact the Finnish word “revontulet”, a name for the aurora borealis or northern lights, can be translated as fire fox. So that evocative myth took on a special significance for the photographer of this northern night skyscape from Finnish Lapland near Kilpisjarvi Lake. The snowy scene is illuminated by moonlight. Saana, an iconic fell or mountain of Lapland, rises at the right in the background. But as the beautiful nothern lights danced overhead, the wild fire fox in the foreground enthusiastically ran around the photographer and his equipment, making it difficult to capture in this lucky single shot.

北极狐火焰

说明: 在芬兰神话中，当北极狐奔跑得飞快，蓬松的尾巴拂过山峦时，便会迸发出耀眼的火花，升腾入夜空，形成绚丽的北极光。事实上，芬兰语中「revontulet」一词，是极光或北极光的名称，其字面意思就是「火狐」。因此，对于这位来自芬兰拉普兰（Lapland）靠近基尔皮斯耶尔维湖（Kilpisjarvi Lake）的北方夜空摄影师来说，这个充满诗意的神话具有了特殊的意义。月光洒落在白雪皑皑的夜空上。萨纳山（Saana），这座拉普兰的标志性山峰，耸立在右侧的背景中。然而，当美丽的北极光在头顶上舞动时，前景中那只野生的火狐热情地在摄影师和他的设备周围奔跑，使得这难得的单张照片难以捕捉到它的身影。
