From the author: After seeing that it might be a good night for Aurora, I stepped outside to see and there were some bright areas. I drove to a dark spot and started photographing around 1:30am. The city lights illuminated some scattered cloud. Darryl Konsmo (Leduc, Alberta, Canada - Sept.2006) Join discussion...

Great Display, bright enough to lite up the snow covered ground! (by Kevin Forster, Alaska Jan. 17, 2005) Join discussion...

During the night of 5/6th of November 2001, in Valkeakoski, Finland, the sky burned in red...almost completely and only red. Just picture you are walking through a forest on a "dark" November night and the trees are silhuetted against a red sky everywhere you look. Join discussion...

Cool picture from outer space showing some aurora activity. CORRECTION: This is actually an image of the Sun. And as far as we all know, there are no auroras in the Sun :-) Join discussion...

Yes it could happen. You're witnessing an amazing aurora sight. You hurry up and get your fancy digital camera out of your pocket, shoot, and oops! You've got nothing at all. I've read many hints for taking pictures of auroras, but this article is quite interesting, from someone who's been photographing the aurora for the last 17 years. Join discussion...

Unusual picture from outer space of northern lights in the southern emisphere. Join discussion...

From the author: Around 4 AM the weather finally was clear and the northern lights were kicking into high gear, probably the best show I have seen in 10 years. At some times I had trouble figuring out where to point the camera for the next shot since it looked like in the photo almost everywhere you looked. Join discussion...
