I will post this because it is a first for me. Monday night the sky was ablaze and I got it on film Took this from my front yard and in my 50 years, it is the first time I have ever seen the northern lights. Common for a lot, they are a sight seen around here for about 1 hour every 11 years. Kind of like snow in ""''""

 

Great shot, if that's undoctored it must be an impressive sight!

 

very cool.

 

That must be an awesome sight 'in the flesh'

 

Wow, great shot! That's beautiful!

 

I was fortunate (I think) enough to spend 4 years in the UP of Michigan, where the Northern Lights were fairly common. That said, I only saw them in red once - consider yourself lucky! The lights are, in my opinion, one of the most amazing sights you'll ever see on our green Earth.

 

Great Shot - in Red even

That is an incredible shot ..... is it truly not doctored??

 

Wow! Just looking at that picture gives me a cold shiver, that must be so awesome in person...

 

I remember spending a few nights "outdoors" up in Northumberland, UK. Seeing the dancing purple lights was a sureal experience to say the least!

The lights are visible in the UK in the winter. Unfortunately there are few areas which don't suffer from light polution!
