This week, North America was audience to an unusually large and powerful solar storm, which created dazzling Northern Lights across larges swaths of the continent.

Indeed, from Canada down to Arizona and even Florida, the aurora borealis was visible.

Photographer Daniel Forster was ready, and captured some truly stunning views of the colorful sky over Colorado’s Garden of the Gods.

The photos below showcase the extent of the vibrant aurora, which look astounding behind the craggy rock formation outside of Colorado Springs.

    The kaleidoscopic colors bring to mind the following lyric from Beatles song, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds –
    ‘With tangerine trees and marmalade skies’.
