Norwegian landscape photographer Terje Sorgjerd spent a week taking an incredible 22,000 photos of the sky from and near Kirkenes and Pas National Park in Norway, near the Russian border.  He then created this amazing time-lapse video, backed with a great soundtrack from Australian musician Lisa Gerrard.  Enjoy:
