Thank you. I know, I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but hear me out. Here we are with an aurora of KP 8 magnitude. The biggest solar storm since 2003. Nobody really expected it, but fine, since we're already here and geared up, why not.
Complete bust. Like, clear sky, no aurora, or only a hint. The best place to view it was apparently in Germany or New York or Alabama because it's so strong it went straight past us in Norway. This shot is pretty reflective of all we got, not saying that it's nothing, but it was kind of funny....Show more →
I can sort of relate to that......I was hoping to get a view here, north of Toronto, but it was snowing and cloudy when I finally gave up. This morning I woke up to crystal clear sunny skies. I have no idea when it cleared up last night, but I probably missed the big show!

Good eye for this beautiful composition, so vivid a capture as if we were standing there with you, seeing what you saw live. Good work, job well done
As many of you know, I don't particularly care for vertical photos, and very rarely take them. However, sometimes nature comes in that format and you can't disobey.

Most likely the only 'polar bears' that I'll get to take images of
The images that follow were on a residential street in the central Massachusetts town of Spencer.
A few more taken along the UPRR railways; some from just outside of Reno (Verdi) and also Floriston, CA. I hiked along the Reno-to-Tahoe trail for a few miles to get the last shots that were elevated. I'm going back there this weekend, and hopefully up to Tahoe itself.
