The magical Northern Lights from Senja Island in Norway.
This has to be the most amazing natural event that I have ever had the chance to experience. While traveling the Norway for work, we had hoped that we would whiteness a display of northern lights, but as luck had it for the whole week we were there the skies were cloudy or there was no activity. Finally on our last night while looking outside we noticed slight colours in the sky and though we would have to give it a go.
We travelled out of the small town we were staying at to escape the light pollution and we were treated to the most beautiful display of colour that I have ever seen. It took me a moment to even set up my camera as I was just in awe of the beauty of this event. The moon lit up the snowy foreground with these amazing trees reaching up in to the skies. We braved the -15c temperature for a couple of hours to take it all in before all heading back, blown away by what we just whitnessed.
An experience that I will never forget!

Thanks @bitcoinman - the great thing about night sky photography is that you don't need expensive equipment to do it. With a steady tripod and long exposure anyone can do it! I may write up a tutorial guide in the next few days on capturing the night sky with cameras

Great photo! Definitely on my bucket list for sure! Do you know if Norway is the best place to see this amazing phenomenon? I have heard there are other locations the world as well. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks @breshepard! Norway is known as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. Svalbard in particular is a very good location for it, but they can also be seen from Iceland, Alaska etc. Occasionally they are seen here in Australia from Tasmania for the southern lights, but we are still relatively far from the pole so the displays aren't as vibrant. I hope one day you get to experience it, you will be lost for words!

Thank you! I have family traveling to Alaska doing a cruise this week. It is another bucket list item, perhaps when I go I can plan it in the time of year that the lights are visible. :)

It can be a fascinating sight, especially in live, when the veils of colorful lights are moving. But this photo is always amazing! Now you have a new follower. Up and resteemed of course!

So gorgeous! This is one of a few natural events I really hope to witness in my lifetime. Another is a total solar eclipse, which luckily will be happening in August here in the US. I can't wait, though it will be shorter and considerably less colorful than this lovely view!
