the aurora

[loki]

unlike the previous two nights when the aurora was "visible" this one actually looked like it does in the photo.  this was a 5 sec exposure time over the lake at kleifervatn in iceland.  it was my last night in the country.

Love to see that in the flesh.  Nice capture.

Same here, I did get to see the lights when parked at Fraserborough Scotland  one night years ago......Lovely photo by the way Loki

 It has a mystical almost  other worldly  feel to it ...  it has to be on my bucket list to see it  for real so to speak.  I’m  green  with envy Loki

Very nice! That is something I would love to see Loki, lucky you!!

Me too. Would love to see an aurora like this. Beautiful phenomena well captured.

thanks johntwo.  it was great to see, especially after the first time seeing the aurora was a little bit of a let down.

would love to visit scotland someday.  didn't know you could see the aurora there, but makes sense.  everything around here that's far enough north to see the lights is too overcome by light pollution so it seems like you have to go much further north.

thanks!  it was pretty sweet.  all i had to do was point the camera and shoot.  it was pretty bright.

Ten nights I spent there, and didn't see it once! 

Planning another visit maybe later this year or next year .... problem is this virus issue is playing havoc with travel plans

But it's probably reducing the carbon footprint eh ....
