The Aurora Borealis

For those of you that have just found me, let me share again, that I live in Alaska. Up here we have the amazing opportunity to experience the handiwork of God up close and personal. I don’t get much sleep because of it.

Why? Because I am running out in arctic temperatures, tripod and camera in tow hoping to get shots of this!

Doesn’t that look like a sea turtle?

I took these one night a couple weeks ago. This show never gets old!

This is my third winter getting to take pictures of this breath-taking show. I am still learning the process, as they are very, very tricky! I hope to get even better ones this year, as this will be my last winter here.

Do you want to know more about the Aurora Borealis? I just came across this really cool video that explains exactly what and how it happens. I get asked that a lot, and this is such a great tool to demonstrated it.
