Not much photographically here, but I wanted to post a few pictures of the Northern Lights for those who have never seen them. We weren’t allowed out of the penned in backyard at night due to the danger of lurking polar bears, so I couldn’t get proper landscape shots of the lights, but pretty cool to see them none the less. They only appeared on one of the nights that we were up at the lodge and weren’t all that strong. We were told it’s been an off year to view them. Also known as the Aurora Borealis, here is what wikipedia has to say: an aurora is a natural light display in the sky, particularly in the polar regions, caused by the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth’s magnetic field.

aaahhhh i love aurora borealis!!!!!
I’ve never seen them in person – do they swirl around or are they still? Do they change color or are they always green? I think they are beautiful!
these are definitely at the top of my bucket list. astronomically speaking, anyway.
You sure those aren’t just special effects?
Crane,
You are incredible. Every day I open my email and say, I can’t believe I know the guy who gives us these images.
