Snowy Aurora

On my way back to Finland after driving up to Nordkapp, I stopped to stretch my legs and saw that the clouds were starting to clear, and there was a faint distant green. I threw on the snow shoes and started into the moonlit forest, when that distant green soon turned into an explosion of green all across the sky. I spent the next two hours running through the woods with my camera, looking up at the sky in awe. By the time the lights had started to die down, I was so exhausted I just laid there for a while in the snow before making the long walk back. It was the most peaceful quiet I have ever felt, the snow truly does absorb any little bit of sound, and there was nothing around to make sound.
