Snow storms
and cloud gave way this evening to clear skies. A quick,
high sensitivity exposure to the north revealed the characteristic
green glow of Northern Lights just above the horizon. However
this was but a prelude to the fantastic show we got this
evening. A fantastic and awe inspiring display with lots
of variety and incredible diversity of structure, all the
more appreciated bearing in mind that this was supposed
to be a quiet day for the aurora borealis! |

With
the BIGGEST FULL MOON OF THE YEAR, I went outside with 24
other persons. We wanted to watch the Northern Lights. Because
of the full moon, it was very difficult but we enjoy, anyway...
the weather was -22 C, no wind and an almost clear sky.

Last
nights full moon (well almost full) provided the ideal conditions
for Northern Lights photography here in Canada's Arctic.
I waited patiently for a half an hour before the celestial
show began. What a show! Twenty minutes into the show I
walked out onto the ice on our fjord to capture some of
the lights dancing over the mountain tops. Beautiful night
for photography.
