Aurora Over Norway

[Friends just call me Ross]

Quote

The display over Senja, Norway, on Nov.  11th was nothing short of magical," recalls photographer Adrien Mauduit. "Huge colorful pillars took the shape of a fiery bird."

The same stream of solar wind will return on Dec. 8th or 9th and it may be even more potent this time because the underlying coronal hole has hrown larger in the intervening month. Arctic sky watchers, mark your calendars and warm your camera. The Phoenix might rise again.

We don't get many displays of the northern lights in Montreal; too much light pollution from the city. When I lived in Toronto years ago, I was working in the northern part of the city one night away from the city lights, and was treated to a spectacular show though. It wasn't anywhere near the above photos, of course, but since we don't often see things like that it was so beautiful from my standpoint! I was standing beside my car looking up to the heavens, my eyes just fixed solidly on Jehovah's majestic creation sweeping over me. It was just overwhelming, providing a comforting reminder of our Creator's infinite power!

I've only experienced the northern lights effects and the gentle crackle that comes with it , once on the drive out west to BC. But never this vivid. It's amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I love the glow on the water too. Totally awesome.

Best display I saw was Sept/1991 in Parry Sound area

Covered 2/3 of the sky. We were treated to lots

( you actually could see it from southern Ontario that year.)

Amazing pictures, I always wanted to see the northern lights and seeing them in Norway would be incredible. Lucky you!
