Northern Lights

Norrsken

My friend Mattias recently sent me this amazing capture of the "Northen Lights" in Umea Sweden.

This atmospheric projection of light is the result of colliding particles that release their energy in the form of visible light. It's a fairly complex phenomena, but yet fairly common this time of the year.

This is one of those events that is at the top of my list to personally witness with my own eyes (before I die). From my understanding, photography and video of the Aurora Borealis does it no justice. It has to be seen with your own eyes.
