Aurora was dancing in the sky in a bright green dress tonight. We pulled over to the side of the road to snap a couple freehand shots. I really needed to use a tri-pod, but you get the idea.Here's a shot with the flash. See the end of my Excursion?
Here's the same exact spot without the flash. I'm headed up Chena Ridge and the lights you see are Fairbanks.

Thanks for putting up these shots. Magical.
We had aurorae we couldsee when on the island but we never saw that kind of curtain. You are a good 12degrees further North than us.
How do you find time to blog?
Oh these are gorgeous - one of my dh's life goals is to see these for real. Doesn't happen in London - and we don't get those dark skies either.
Thanks for sharing :)
Beautiful photos! Thank you for stopping by & saying "hi". :-)
Have a blessed day,

Oh those are beautiful! It's been years since we've had them here and even then they weren't that bright...Gorgeous! Makes me want to move to Alaska...Ok..not really..maybe just visit :-P
btw..woke up to snow on the ground...
That is so cool. I've nver seen (or heard) of this. Probably because nothing exciting happens in the midwest
You are so lucky to be able to see those. I haven't seen the northern lights since I was a kid in Michigan.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love the photos - not the SNOW in the photo - but the northern lights! ;-) I saw them when I was a kid but not in years. They are amazing.
Oh wow, what a treat! Thanks for sharing them. Must make worth living in the dark and cold worth it a little, to see stuff like that.

Seeing the aurora in Alaska is on my '50 things to do before I die' list -- thanks for reminding me why!
