Who here has NOT seen these in real life? If you havent
then I suggest you go out of your way to. We get them often
enough in most parts of my province, or area of Canada. The
last 3 nights they have visited me on the night shift of my
job. Tonight I went out for a smoke around 3am, and I looked
up, the WHOLE night sky was clear, that I could tell - but
it was Green laces of light everywhere, crossing the whole
sky from one end to the other, some jagged, some soft lines,
some straight, some mingled with each other, and some curved
like giant "C"'s in the sky. It was amazing, but the best
part aint yet...

About half way through my smoke, and still watching the
lights in the sky, they mostly "flowed" together and formed
a giant green quivering mass in the sky, BRIGHT green,
dancing away.... which is quite magical and makes you feel
sort of "not" human in a way.... it was so breath taking.
Then all of a sudden they were moving a lot more and rapidly
chaning color from red, to blue to purple, to white and back
and forth... FAST.... for about 2 whole minutes I watched
this happened, so amazed I could not even speak to myself...
the ENTIRE (and we all know its big) sky was lit up,
changing colors rapidly. It was unlike anything id seen of
the northern lights before, and ive seen a lot of them in
my life. this is probably one of the most awe inspiring
things a person could ever see, mystical nature at work. It
was breathtaking to say the least.

Map: not one good enough to take decent pics of that. If i

best Norhten Lights pics.

broken phillip: not quite yet, but soon.. yes, very soon. It
frosts up at night sometimes now, its devent during the day,
give it 2-3 weeks and It will be snowing probably. Oh
well..... I like the winter just as much as summer, for
different reasons. I think winter can be more beautiful
sometimes. Especially at night.

This was amazing, the entire sky was like a chameleon. But
more intense.... the light..

Antarctica... or close to it.. to see them

i remember seeing some crazy assed northern lights in
labrador. they looked like shards of ice, but in all kinds
of funky colours, green, purple, pink, blue, yellow, white,
and they were dancing over my head. wonderful.

The reflection of vivid northern lights off ice and snow is
about the most surreal setting you could be in. Sadly I'm a
little far south to see it more than once in 4 years or
so...

I haven't seen that, proly largely due to my geographical
location...It's 80 degress outside...

ive only seem them a few times.. one of them was just last
month, here in toronto!
(its very rare for them to be visible here this far south
and becaues of the city's bright lights)

We had a great view from a friend's balcony, the lights were
spread out in the north part of the sky... it looked like
soft green curtains being blown about and folding over
itself..

not very bright compared to the ones up north, but still
very eerie and beautiful
