p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Waterfall Auroras

The dark nights are about to end here in Finland, so it was last moments for me to go and photograph auroras.

The night was pretty, but auroras were just barely above the horizon. I sat by the rapids for about one and a half hours, but they just weren't going to brighten up. So I decided to go home.

I climbed back to the bridge and on the very moment, the auroras decided to explode. How typical. Well, the scenery wasn't too bad from the bridge either, so I wasn't disappointed.

I always appreciate aurora shots. It boggles my mind trying to think of what they look like in real life. Must make it worth living in a place where they can be seen.

Thanks. Well, these weren't nothing special for the naked eye. A greyish, dim band, that was just visible. Momentarily it brightened and moved (second picture).

But when they are active, oh man. No image can capture the impact. Bright, colorful rays and bands move across the sky. The whole sky flickers. It's like somebody is sweeping giant light torches towards the zenith... It's.. An alien feeling. Slightly scary even.

Neat combination of water, a cottage and the night sky with the aurora. Truly amazing.
