This year, summer in Northern Norway has been mostly cloudy and rainy 🌧️

So here’s a throwback to a month ago, when I took these visitors for a 2 hours drive from Tromsø into some nice valleys…on the only day when they had a chance to see some sun and blue sky while here 😅

With my summertime kitchen setup in the car, a proper picnic lunch with pasta al ragù 🇮🇹 cooked by the lake was a sure thing 😎
Even after 10 years of life in Norway, can’t help yourself when you’re Italian, sorry 😂

Phone pictures again, but no worries, there will be some taken with my camera too, at some point 🙂

What’s your opinion on the never ending increase use of AI in our lives?

I personally am really against it - you can tell from my face on the first photo 🙅🏻‍♂️😂

More and more people use it as substitute for even the smallest and easy tasks…like writing messages or emails…not only for work, but also holiday planning 🕵️‍♂️

In the last months the number of inquires I’m getting clearly written using AI (yes, one can tell immediately because the script is always pretty much the same), has increased significantly… and to be honest it’s getting annoying now!

If at least it would give correct information and answers, the only thing bothering me would be the thought of a brainless humanity coming closer than I hoped… but the reality is that I keep getting asked the same questions at least 2 or 3 times after having replied to said questions, on those conversations where AI is clearly used by the clients…
And it makes me loose a lot of time to keep answering them…as well as genuinely wondering if these clients will understand or pay attention to what I’ll explain them once on tour…or not? 😬

AI is not only deteriorating arts like photography and videography with content spammed everywhere on socials and lots of end users not even realising that they’re watching fake material… it’s really going to deteriorate human brains. And Nature resources too, look up info for data centres.
I don’t know what to think about the future, to be honest.
In my little, I’ve never ever used any of the AI platforms and I’ll keep not doing it…I wanna age stubborn and hopefully with some cells left in my skull 👌🏻

And what’s your vision over this matter?

So here’s a little Sunday rainy afternoon rant, watching some phone photos of a downhill bike ride I did a couple of weeks ago during one of the few non rainy days of this very wet north Norwegian “summer” 😅

More sunny photos coming soon…(maybe 🙈)

Autumn, full moon up in the sky and...yes, the northern lights as well! 🙌

The freedoom that September and October gives in terms of taking you to super epic locations, is just priceless.
Without ice and snow on the ground, moving on the terrain is way easier, and if you combine the moonlight, which, well, illuminates the ground too, you're in for an incredible experience!

Online you'll read a lot of different opinions and some will say you don't see the aurora well with the moonlight...that is only true if the aurora will be of very low intensity (and even without moon in the sky, that would't be anything spectatular).
But if you have from medium-low intensity to stronger ones, like displayed on these photos I took in autumn 2025, forget all of what you read online - our eyes see colours even better with moonlight rather than in full darkness, and it's pure magic ✨

Bookings for September and October 2026 are slowly coming in with some weeks already quite filled up, but I still have several spots available.

When they say you can't see the northern lights with full moon...but you end up seeing both the lights and some spooky houses too 👻

Photo taken a few years ago in autumn, an underrated season from many, which actually is simply gorgeous...more posts about it coming soon!

SEASON 2026/2027 - BOOKINGS ARE OPEN!

I know, it's only May now...but when looking back at these photos from last September...I want to travel forward in time right away😁

Next season will be the 9th one for me, showing people from all over the world the beauty that this place has to offer - both at night and during the day.
And like never before, the competition has become so high in Tromsø between tour companies...from illegal tours, to boys with their pockets full of money who aim to first destroy and then monopolize the market, the price war and decrease in quality development has been intense. Not to mention the other issues that such mass tourism oriented businesses create to the local community and environment...

I stand my point: the Arctic is a fragile place, which everyone deserves to see at least once in life, but not everyone at once!
Personally I am disgusted from the turn things have taken in the last few years and at how the authorities have handled it (read, how they did not handle it at all).

Loving this place that I choose to call home, I will continue keeping my operations on a very small scale, just what's enough to sustain myself. And if you love Nature and want to help us locals keeping Tromsø a liveable and sustainable place, please drop the obvious mass tourism cheap tours and choose carefully who you book your activities with! Quality and experience come at a cost, as well as being a fully licensed operator...and an ethical one.

Sooo...do you want to join the smallest tours in Tromsø (yeah, many out there saying so... 🙄) with the most exclusive vehicle around and a guide who likes to avoid the crowds at all costs?
Aaaand who also seems to be able to take nice photos for you? 😆

Then I might be the person you're looking for!

Hope to have you onboard - my winter tours are starting from mid September till early April.
Feel free to ask me also other info, and let's create unforgettable moments together 🫶

When Nature never stops surprising you…😱

Last Saturday evening, April 18th, I was out working on my truck at night…and at some point I had a quick look up in the sky… just around midnight (into Sunday)…WHAT THE HECK DID HAPPEN!! 😳

Never seen before so strong auroras against a so bright sky, with the midnight sun on its way, this was truly unexpected…enjoy this northern lights last dance of the season!

10th of April
THE VERY END OF THE SEASON! 🥳

Exactly a week ago, last Friday, I did one more Northern Lights Expedition with a fantastic group, with fantastic conditions, and fantastic auroras - given how bright the sky was! 🔥

We left the city and had to stop right away for a stunning sunset...and eventually continued out to my favourite fjord, with the best possible weather one could ask for 😍
It wasn't even that dark yet, and we could start to see some auroras overriding the twilight...until it got darker, and the lights danced above us, like in a perfect script. I couldn't have asked for a better last tour of the season 🙏

These first two weeks of April have been so beautiful here, with clear sky and sun almost every day - simply unbelievable.
I have been very busy working on a few things lately, so I'm posting quite late now, but better later than never right?

Also, the calendar for next season is almost finished, some months are still missing but I will get it done over the next few days.
Have a look at www.arcticphotoguide.com and let me know if you're here anytime 🤗

AND A BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR FOLLOWING ALONG THIS WINTER - Looking forward to create more memories together 😎
