This was back in 2016, a really epic northern lights. It always looks a bit brighter in pictures but this one was very bright IRL as well, and even had some purple.
I guess that depends on the person, but when I saw them it was more like a magical/otherworldly experience, kind of like being in the path of totality during a total eclipse-the world seems different. Then again, I had been living in Alaska for nearly a year hoping every day to see them. They really do dance across the sky. Really fun experience I hope you get to see them if that’s what you want.
It is my wish to see such lights one day, but for that I need to wait until my little child gets ready for a conscious travel and sightseeing. The goal is set, now we need time. 😉
May I ask the location of the photos? I know you have to be far north and it is mostly seasonal. Would love to see them in person one day. Thanks sharing for the beautiful picture.
