    Default Northern Lights, new season, 2011

    It's been a pretty quiet for the last little while. After a few great shows in the summer and early fall, there has been little activity for nearly a month, maybe more. I was finally able to get out for a few nights where there was both clear skies, and aurora activity. Here's a few shots. Temperature was around -26C with 35km/h winds.

























    Here's hoping for another active year! Here's some from last season: flickriver

    Those are amazing shots! We had them here a few times earlier this Fall and one time, I caught them extremely bright at about 11pm. We don't have as much light pollution in our neighborhood here as we did in Calgary, so I get to see them a whole lot brighter than before. I love Aurora Borealis so much.

    What beautiful pictures!!! I've only ever seen green northern lights. Brings back great memories of living in Labrador (the only place I have ever seen them like that)!

    Thank You for sharing. Gorgeous pictures!! It is a dream to see them in person someday..
    I ran my life into a ditch big time and i am tired of struggling, i need a change and i need it now. Trying to change past behaviors so they are not the indicator of future behavior. That is why i am here...
