The Aurora Borealis (and Aurora Australis in the Southern Hemisphere) is a phenomenal phenomenon. It’s our planet playing with light and color, due to solar winds, and disturbances of the magnetosphere. Â Autumn and winter are prime viewing time for these beautiful and rare lights, which look like the heavens dancing. Â Have you experienced the phenomenon? We’ve gathered a collection of exceptional photographs of the aurora, Via Adobe Stock:

These are stunning shots. I have seen the AB once before, many years ago on a school trip in the Lake District, England. It wasn’t as striking as these images, and the colours were very short lived. I had no camera obviously back then. In recent years I have stayed often in Scotland, and been all the way to Orkney, armed with my camera, and not seen it once – typical! 🙂
Agreed, thanks for the comment. Have you seen the aurora in person?
Those are amazing shots!
