I know it's crazy late so people might not read this, but there are Northern Lights going on in the sky just outside in my yard!!

OMG!! They're so beautiful!!!! Do you get them more often in the cooler months??

[queenklu]

We get them year round, but it's light for so long during summer days that it never gets dark enough to see them--the cold can keep the sky clear so they're easier to see, too. But they can be literally anywhere, at any time! I don't remember ever seeing them so close to home before! :D

(also these are really shitty pictures for what was going on, they were SO BRIGHT!)

*facepalm* Should've remembered my basic geography and that you guys are near the Artic Circle so 20+ hours of sun during summer so no wonder you can't see them. I think there has been sightings of the Southern Lights at the tip of Tasmania here but that's like getting the lights in Maine. Kinda makes me wish I had gone further north when I went to Canada 5 years ago.

They're impressive pictures for night shots, they always look shitty except if you have a real awesome expensive camera.

They are! Especially since it's so hard to describe what you're looking at--light shouldn't move like that but it DOES *hands*

AUGH NO FAIR. It is one of my bucket list life goals to see aurora. (A downside to living in the tropics....)

It is really, really awesome. Even if it hurts your neck after a while looking up. And you can't feel your face bc you've been standing outside in 20F. (Better than -20F, i guess.) :D

[queenklu]
