The aurora flowing like a wave over the boreal forest near Fairbanks, Alaska. Taken from the Granite Tors Trail, with city lights from Fairbanks and North Pole glowing on the horizon, nearly 40 miles away.

A vivid green aurora swirls across the night sky in a wave-like formation over a snow-covered boreal forest. The sky is filled with countless stars, while a soft orange glow from distant city lights (Fairbanks and North Pole, about 40 miles away) lingers on the horizon. The foreground features silhouetted spindly spruce, willow, and birch reaching upward out of the snowy landscape.

The aurora swirls above a silhouetted boreal forest, with the moon shining high and Venus glowing near the horizon. Captured in October 2015.

A photograph of the northern lights stretching across the night sky above a boreal forest. The aurora appears in swirling green ribbons, with some areas intensifying into brighter patches. The trees in the foreground are silhouetted against the sky, creating a jagged, dark outline. The moon is positioned above the treetops, casting a soft glow, while Venus is visible lower on the left, appearing as a bright point of light. The sky is dotted with stars, and the aurora's movement is visible as delicate, wispy trails.

It was 2:30am. I’d barely slept due to a poorly three year old. But after seeing this through my bedroom window I still got up, got dressed and went out to capture it. #aurora #auroraborealis #northernlights #norrsken

Bright green stripy northern lights above trees.

A powerful aurora display from October 11, 2021, caused by a geomagnetic storm from a coronal mass ejection. This was one of the most intense nights I’ve photographed.

A wide-angle photograph of the aurora borealis taken from the ground looking directly up at the sky. Bright green ribbons of northern lights stretch across the sky, with some hints of purple. The silhouettes of trees frame the image, with a leafy branch visible in the upper left corner and taller bare trees reaching into the frame from the bottom. The night sky is dotted with faint stars.

Shining Through

Above the town of Egilsstaðir¹ in eastern #Iceland, the show is beginning.

Amongst the many visible stars there is part of Ursa Major (Great Bear, Plough or Big Dipper) in the upper right and Corona Borealis (The Northern Crown) which looks like a smiley face is centre left.

A colour photo of the night sky with stars. In the bottom left of the shot is a collection of bright streetlights indicating a sizeable town. Rising from the dark hills above the town are two arcs of aurora curving upwards and across the sky. There's a hint of red colour on top of the base of the bands, and some places are slightly brighter green than the rest. A small amount of cloud is covering parts of the streamers but the light is shining through.

Aurora seems to twist across the sky over the Chena River Valley. Taken from the Angel Rocks to Chena Hot Springs Trail in March of 2016.

A bright green aurora borealis stretches upward in a twisting pattern over the Chena River Valley. The northern lights appear to originate from behind a range of snow-covered mountains. The sky is dark with scattered stars visible. The foreground features rolling hills covered in snow, with subtle variations in texture and shadow.

This is still one of my favorite aurora photos. The way the bands of light wrapped around the spruce trees that night was incredible. Taken in January 2015—one of the most unforgettable weeks of northern lights I’ve ever seen.

A vibrant display of the aurora borealis arcs across the night sky above a snow-covered boreal forest. The green bands of northern lights appear to wrap around the tall spruce trees, which are heavily laden with fresh snow. The ground is blanketed in white, reflecting the soft glow of the aurora. The sky is deep and dark, dotted with faint stars.

This started out as a photo I took many years ago of the #NorthernLights in #Iceland. It was already quite a nice photo, but if I want to use it as cover art it needs to be square, and perhaps a bit fantastical. I'm not sure this treatment in #OneLab makes it any *better* but it makes it fit the need a bit more.

A treated photograph. The upper half has concentric semicircles of glowing green wisps against a dark blue background, scattered with a few white stars. The foreground is a reflection of the upper half, with water-like ripples.

Last night’s Aurora. Would have been absolutely spectacular if it hadn’t been nearly full moon. Still pretty cool tho but hard to photograph. #aurora #auroraborealis #northernlights #norrsken

An unforgettable aurora display over Fairbanks, Alaska on January 14, 2023. The sky erupted in swirling green waves, stretching directly overhead in a breathtaking show of motion and light. This might have been one of the most incredible displays I've ever seen.

A vivid aurora borealis display over Fairbanks, Alaska, taken on January 14, 2023. The green aurora stretches across the night sky, forming swirling bands that radiate outward in sweeping arcs. The perspective is from the ground looking straight up, framed by the silhouettes of tall, leafless birch trees and snow-covered evergreens. The aurora has areas of both diffuse glow and sharply defined, ribbon-like streaks. Faint stars are visible in the background, scattered across the deep black sky. The intense green light from the aurora reflects on the snow-covered branches, giving the foreground a soft illumination.

In the lower part of the image, the frozen Muonio River is visible. On the opposite shore, on the Swedish side, there is a dimly lit forest. The sky is filled with stars and the northern lights, with clouds drifting in front of them.

Valentine's Day aurora display lights up the sky above snow-covered spruce trees in Fairbanks, Alaska (February 2023)

Brilliant green aurora borealis fills the night sky, creating dramatic streaks and curtains that appear to sweep diagonally across the frame. In the foreground, silhouettes of tall spruce trees heavy with snow stand dark against the illuminated sky. The aurora's green glow reflects off the snow. Stars are visible in the dark purple-blue sections of the sky between the aurora bands.

Last August I saw the most incredible Northern Lights I've ever seen (I've only seen them a few times since I live in the Southern Finland). The entire sky was covered with intense green lights and sudden flashes of red and purple. It was such a divine cosmic sight it was almost terrifying.

These pictures are from the last % of the show because I didn't want to miss the most intense part getting my camera. I even managed to capture one of the Perseids in the second picture.

We spotted the first auroras in the sky on the drive from the airport to our accommodation. So we quickly put on as many clothes as we could fit, got the tripod out of the suitcase and headed outside.
A great start to the photo trip, especially as no clear nights were forecast for the next few days.
