Finnish Wilderness cabin on a clear winters night

A wilderness cabin in Riisitunturi National Park in Finnish Lapland on a cold and clear January night. The long exposure reveals star trails and a faint aurora / northern lights on the horizon. There are sparks coming from the chimney and a warm light coming from the cabin window, with ski's standing next to the entrance. These very basic wilderness cabins are open and it's free to spend the night in them
