Aurora Borealis

Photoshopped! :playful:

I've never had the pleasure nor experienced the wonder of those lights. As rkunsaw said they don't seem to make it over to this side of the country very often, and if they did they'd probably be drowned out by flashing police lights and the glow of millions of wide-screen TVs tuned to "Dancing with the Stars" ...
 

They're amazing as they dance in the sky, coloring is beautiful! We were young, in our early twenties, when we went to the Northwest Territories in Canada, and Alaska for a camping trip.
 
Northern Lights Dancing Behind Volcanic Eruption

Incredible photos from a photographer named Appleton, who got some amazing shots of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), dancing behind an Icelandic volcano that was erupting.

Thanks for that, SeaBreeze. Gorgeous photos....that's one thing I miss about the northern states, is the beautiful dancing Aurora. Awesome, for sure. :)
 
That has got to be the coolest photo I have ever seen. I have actually vacationed in Alaska and have gone hiking there. While sleeping in a freezing cold log cabin in the middle of winter, I got to see the northern lights, or aurora borealis. It was a great sight and a great experience. I have always wanted to witness a volcanic eruption. This picture, which combines the two amazing sights, is awesome.
 
Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) of Alaska - See Them If You Can

I had the pleasure of seeing these beautiful dancing lights in the sky during my camping trips years ago in Canada and Alaska. The Northern Lights are enchanting.

 
Those are absolutely beautiful!! I grew up watching the northern lights, as we called them, and have certainly missed them since we moved. Used to stay up half the night, all bundled up to watch them, and especially enjoyed the green and red ones; which were rare.
Hoping someday to be able to watch them again. :)
 
Aurora Borealis to Be Seen Further South Tonight and Tomorrow Night

They said here in Colorado, the Aurora Borealis could be seen tonight between midnight and 2AM, and tomorrow night...but tonight would be the best viewing. Well, just poked my head out to see if it was worth staying up for, and there's a lot of cloud cover. That coupled with the lights of the city, would make it a no go. Too bad, as it would be a rare treat to see the lights here. :(
 
It's very unusual Reen, it was too cloudy to see anything by me. Better chance if we were out camping in the wilderness, away from all the artificial city light. I'm happy I was able to see them years ago in Canada and Alaska...a sight to behold, wished I had a good camera to record them.
 
Have You Ever Been In an Area with the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)?

We went camping when we were young in Canada and Alaska, and I was amazed at the beauty of the Northern Lights in the skies. Unfortunately I only had a Polaroid camera, so I have no photos of the beauty I enjoyed there. Do you live in an area, or have visited an area where you could see the Aurora Borealis??







 
You're very lucky Fern, that makes life just that much better to be able to see such lovely sights from the window of your own home. :cool:


 
When I was growing up in Northern Idaho, we would go out late at night and watch the Northern Lights, and I really enjoyed seeing them. They were not as spectacular in Idaho as you would see further north, but still beautiful.
I still remember the first time my mom woke me up and asked me to come outside and look at the sky, and being amazed at the lights, waving, ebbing and flowing up and down, mostly whiteish, but sometimes colored.
One time, years later, the kids and I were watching them in Spokane (WA), and they were a beautiful red color, and almost all across the sky. We would watch for an hour or so before they finally faded out again.
My mother was great for showing me things like that, even when it meant waking me up in the wee hours of the morning.
 
HFL, Idaho is a very beautiful state, I wouldn't mind living there. Your mom sounds like she was very cool, to show you those wonderful things and leave you with beautiful memories until this day. :sentimental:
