The last Arctic trip was probably the best in terms of consistent evenings filled with aurora and clear skies I have had in many trips over the last few years. This solar storm was the result of a large solar flare on the sun, a flare that actually exploded as we made our way to the airport in the early hours of the morning on the 23rd January.
I was immediately getting excited and planning a location to ensure we got to clear skies to witness this event. We headed straight for the Lofoten Islands only to find the weather was looking too unpredictable so grabbed a few hours sleep before heading straight into Sweden to an incredible frozen forest. Some of the auroral formations and patterns were fantastic here, I spent ages trying to find relationships between the needles and needle type tree tops but this was the best burst I saw all evening for shape and structure.
It was stupendously cold here, the temperature hit -35C but it was worth it for the incredible display, crystal clear skies and the images we managed during the few daylight hours the next day.
Cant wait to do this all again in just two weeks time!

Always wish to capture aurora borealis when traveling to the northern part of Norway during winter. No guarantee but a fair chance.
Not the most spectacular shot I made, but the one I like the most.
Plans were to visit Quetico Provincial Park in Southwestern Ontario, Canada in 2020 but COVID-19 caused a closure of the border. After considerable delay, and adjustment of previous plans we were able to return and experience this world-class canoe destination again. For much of the 12 day/11 night trip cloudy conditions obscured the sky in the evenings, but a few nights were clear and calm so I set up a camera to photograph through the night. We never observed any aurora while we were awake, so it wasn't until we returned home that I was able to view what we had missed. This image was taken only 45 minutes after we went to sleep for the evening. What a surprise to find an aurora build up, then fade away across a few hours of shooting!
An unexpected combination of Aurora Australis and a storm in the distance. I never thought i'd see the auroras where I live, but have been so lucky to capture them both in the last 3 months..

I've gone back and reprocessed a couple of images of the Aurora from my trip to Tasmania in September last year. This was a nice little display!
Both images taken at Goats Bluff overlooking Betsey Island, south of Hobart.
A little aurora tonight. It's getting to that time of year that the sky doesn't get very dark and soon it won't get dark at all.
Aurora Borealis put on a great show on De. 20/21. This is in the village of Wimborne, Alberta as the northern lights dance around an old abandoned archrib auto repair shop.

Lying in the snow observing the magnificent aurora borealis in front of the crater Grænavatn (Krýsuvík - Iceland). A crater maar type probably about 6000 years old.

Not the greatest quality, but i dont care, i saw the aurora borealis, something we se rarely down here in the south west of Norway:)
I jumped out for a moment with the camera, but remembered that the tripod was in the car I had not at home and a little child sleeping inside. - But things happened fast and I had the opportunity to practice steady grip techniques - leening on a pole, or wall, or lying flat on the belly on the ground - brrrrrrr that was cold.
