Aurora pictures

[FieryPrincess]

My husband has been chomping at the bit to go aurora hunting and the weather and the aurora finally cooperated.
This is one of my favorites from his session.

I'm sure this won't be his only excursion and I'll post more pictures from time to time.

Cool! It looks like a dragon's face.

I came to this thread thinking everyone was posting about this: 3893 Aurora, Roman goddess of the dawn who's name gives us the symbol for gold (Au). Her son is Lucifer, the morning star.

Geez Dag...Puhleeeze.

Very Nice FP...It sure is nice to live on a planet that redirects the suns radiation and, at the same time, give us such a wonderful light show.

I was reminde of the time when, after the battle of Antietam in the civil war, that the aurora was actually seen over the battlefield far to the south of where it normally appears.

Despite the weather, Alaska has some qualities that are fabulous, and worth the effort of living there.

In the early '90's, I actually saw the aurora in SE Alabama. It was very low, and not very bright.
When I was in SE Wisconsin as a youngster, we had some pretty impressive displays, some shooting past 90 degrees overhead.

I'll see plenty when we are up to 20 hours of dark.

It's still too light at bedtime for me (10ish). My husband didn't want to wait for winter and went out hunting them. He found a nice place with no city lights to disrupt the photo.

Last year I saw some driving to school.

It might have been late 80's, instead of early 90s. I left Alabama to go to Germany in late 91.
