Stop the press! More Monday!

Just as I posted, I thought check the time, check the skies... - and look!


Just... yes! It was paler than this, because the camera picks up more colour, but on the other hand I could see it moving, and tinged with pink, and oh, so beautiful! *g*

And also wow, because I could never have taken these photos when I was living in Alaska - this is what 16 years of technological advance can do for us! I barely even had a mobile phone back then, but now I have one that can capture the aurora... *sighs happily*

Just fantastic. I've seen the white version of the Northern lights, both the 'net curtain' effect and the searchlight variety in Northern Scotland, but never in colour. Lucky you to be in the right place at the right time!

This was probably the same as your white version — it wasn't this green as I watched it, but the camera picks up the colour better than our naked eyes do. It was tinged pink at the edges though, and danced across the skies! *g* I was lucky to have gone out just then, although partly it was because I remembered that 10/10.30pm was often a good time to see the lights. *vbg*
