A faint light from the north

We are in the solar minimum and the Aurora Borealis displays at this latitude have been at a minimum as well. On a night walk last night I noticed a bit of color in the sky. Longer exposures showed a diffused haze of the Northern Lights. Subtle but still beautiful.

The quiet show ended quickly. It was very nice to see them once again. As the aurora faded out I needed my headlamp to bring a bit of color to the last photograph.

I like the lighter ground in the Aurora shots, the colours and stars are lovely. The last one is fun.

Beautiful! We are lucky to live in an area we have possibities see Aurora Borealis dancing on the sky at wintertime. We call them revontulet, it means the lights of a fox. A fox running on the sky hits snow with its tail and makes these lights. A cute story.

Breathtaking. 🙂 Acquaintances who’ve never experienced the northern lights often ask me to describe them. My answer is always the same – “they wrap their arms around you, capture your breath and ask you to dance with wild abandon”. Sigh

I love your description. I think that is a beautiful way to share the wonder for those who haven’t been able to see them in person. Thank you for sharing that.
