Aurora, University of Alaska @ Fairbanks

Very bright aurora taken NE UAF Campus 10-11 PM. Pretty cold at the

time, minus 25F or so. I was in a hurry and took most of these photos

without gloves.

i see the northern lights almost every night,and are never the same twice,my favourite is when all colors of the rainbow are dancing through the sky.The lights are hard to capture descently on film,although this is a nice shot it just doesn't capture the real beauty,it's something you have to witness with your own eyes.once again nice shot

I would alse love to see one of this wonderfull natural shows, you also captured really nicely this one, great!

This one is a very accurate representation of this display. It was almost pure green and very bright - you can see how it cuts through the low-lying mercury vapor lit clouds. We have all kinds here. I did photograph 3 brilliant, multicolored, fast-moving coronas this spring, and missed more. For an "inactive" part of the solar cycle it was an outstanding season.

 

For a while the pink lighting disturbed me, but so many people have commented positively on this photo that it has begun to grow on me. I have all kinds of "plain old" moonlit et cetera auroras and it's nice to have some variety.

 

Thanks for your comment!

WOW! I like it alot.

Great capture!

I would stand there in awe. Amazing

This is one of my very favorites. Fantastic shot.
