Photographer and kayaker Paul Zizka set up his camera to create breathtaking self-portraits on the lake

The surface of the water is so still the lake and the sky seem to become one - a dazzling array of twinkling stars against a deep blue backdrop - as a lone kayaker gently drifts across.

A stunning series of pictures show photographer and kayaker Paul Zizka paddling through calm waters against the beautiful backdrop of the Canadian Rockies. In one stunning image he's bathed in the eerie glow of the Northern Lights. 

He had been planning the trip for a while, and after checking the weather would be just right he set up his camera and took to the water to create stunning self-portraits.

Zizka, from Alberta, Canada, said: 'It was an incredibly still, clear night - the stars danced across the surface of Goat Pond in Kananaskis, making it seem like I was paddling through the night sky.

'The clear, dark skies and no wind meant the stars reflected perfectly on the water.

'The main challenge was keeping myself and the kayak still enough so I would appear sharp in the image. I'm really happy with the result.'
