Aurora borealis
Throughout the history of mankind, the aurora borealis, or northern lights, were believed to be messengers of the gods, signs of apocalypse, or souls of the dead. The physics behind the aurora borealis is today well understood, and yet the awe and fascination the lights generate in any viewer remain unchanged.
For many, seeing the northern lights is a dream, a once in a lifetime project worth spending their savings on. For others it’s an almost daily experience in winter time. The photographs below were largely taken in Norway, but also Svalbard and Greenland, during the last 10 years.
Simply wonderful!
Well done Andrea.
Grazie Max!!
Bellissime!!
Eh, grazie. Ormai non le si vede piu’ spesso come a Tromsø.. voi invece le vedrete anche meglio..
These are absolutely amazing! It happens also sometimes here in Dk, even last month, but never got the chance to see it myself, and probably won’t,since I am living in the middle of the town.But I do envy those that happen to see such spectacle.
Indeed it’s a quite amazing natural display. But don’t give up hope. Northern lights, exceptionally, have been seen even in the Alps, and in Dk, Scotland or so can be seen one to a few times every winter. The problem is, as you say, light pollution fron town. I suggest you take a trip outside town when a specially strong event is expected. PS: check my series from Kobenhavn, since you live in Dk
this miracle!!
I love them! I’ve been lucky enough to see the northern lights three times last winter in Norway!
Its so beautiful!
