Northern Lights on St. Patrick’s Day

lights1

Last night we were treated to a beautiful display of Northern Lights and it seemed fitting to end St. Patrick’s Day with a display of green lights!   There were a bit of red and a lot of purple mixed with the green this time.  My husband has an App on his iPad that give us an idea of when the aurora will be active and it was indicating a very high potential for activity so we were ready with our camera!  We were able to walk out on top of the snow to the middle of our bay to set up our tripods and every once in a while the lake ice would make a cracking sound that made me jump!  It’s a very creepy sound at night but that just added to the fun!

  2. Wow - amazing photos. What a sight it must be. I would love to see them dancing in the sky like this. Thanks for sharing your awesome photos with those of us who live too far south to ever see this phenomenon.

  7. Great photos! Tonight's supposed to be good too, and even possibly here in Toronto. Last night was cloudy, but it's clearing up now, so I am hopeful!

  8. I heard on the news today that had it not been cloudy we would have been able to see the northern lights! I was so disappointed! When we moved here from California this January that is one thing I was hoping I would get to see. Thank you for sharing your pictures. That is the next best thing to not seeing them in person.
