Wow this is amazing! Can anyone tell whether it is photoshopped or not? Also, which part of the world would this photo have been taken in? I must go there one day! -Vy
It is a Sami "lavvo", or tent. And I think the photo is taken in northern Norway, where I live :) The green thing in the sky, is called the northern lights, it appears when it is really cold :)
This tent is called a tipi, tepee or teepee. They were the homes of nomadic aboriginal peoples from Canada and the United States. The photograph is most likely not photoshopped, but a long exposure. This way you can capture the northern lights as they dance accross the sky.
The northern lights, or aurora borealis is caused by ions from the sun releasing energy when coliding with earth's atmosphere. Different colours such as red, pink and most often green nothern lights are seen most often nearest the northern and southern poles of the earth-- it's all about the earth's magnatism.
I hope that everyone has a chance to see them. They are truly beautiful. Visit Canada north of 60!
