Northern Lights?

Last night I was told the Northern Lights would be visible
from 11PM-2AM.
I was all over it.

Mr. and I searched for a good tri-pod place on the beach.

These shots used a 30-second shutter speed.




I was so excited.

Then Mr. rained on my parade.

"It's lightning."

Still a pretty amazing show.
I sat there for about 30 minutes,
looking North,
watching it all.

I could never capture the best parts.

Then the clouds rolled in,
but it didn't rain
or cool off.

  1. We saw those too! I was hoping it would be northern lights, but the lightning was amazing anyway.
