I was hiking in the North Norwegian mountains to capture the wonderful ever-lasting light in summer north of the polar circle. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily for days. I camped by a small lake as the day came to an end. All of a sudden, minutes before midnight, the skies cleared for a few minutes, and the low midnight sun enlightened the skies from below and a wonderful double rainbow appeared for a few minutes. I rigged up my gear and managed to capture this wonderful moment before the next downpour.
