Once in a lifetime photo.

Towards the end of a fabulous auroral display, a meteor streaked through my shot.
I was literally dancing with joy!

Early November 2021, near Egilsstaðir in eastern #Iceland.
ISO-800 f/2.8 15 seconds exposure.

A strong auroral display beginning to break up, creating a swirling mass of green loops and spikes in the lower two-thirds of the shot. Above them, the stars are visible, in particular Ursa Major the Plough (Big Dipper) in the top left. The foreground is a silhouette of gentle hills, some trees are visible on the skyline which give scale. Near the centre of the shot, travelling from upper right to lower left, a sputtering fireball is streaking through.

Hello, #AuroraBorealis, #NorthernLights, #Aurora, #Polarlichter 😳
(It looks MUCH brighter in the photos than in reality, but the sky IS red, pink and green at the moment!)

Aurora borealis in pink and green with an upwards striped pattern. A few houses are seen against the colorful night sky.

Right, I'm a bit late to the party, but here's one photo of this little obscure event that happened in the sky over here last Monday... 😉

But seriously, much like the night of the 10th to the 11th of May 2024, and to somewhat of a lesser extent the evening of the 10th of October 2024, the evening of the 19th of January 2026 is one I'm going to remember for a long time. 🙂

Sony A73, Sony FE 24-105mm lens
75 seconds (yes, actually too long for the northern lights, but I'm not too bothered by it 😉 ), F/5, ISO 400

#WordWeavers 20. Jan: Do you make use of weather in your story? If so, how?

Last night walking dogs with my husband. As I talk to him about demons and magic, walking him through a scene I was struggling with, the sky suddenly comes alive with these bright green flares, as visible as they are to the naked eye as they are in this picture.

Now this is the kind of dramatic underpinning, that I enjoy with my #writing! First time I have seen #northernlights like that, and they now will definitely find a place in my story!

Aside from this dramatic moment, that needed to be shared! Yes, I love using weather and seasons in my writing to set the scene and the mood in a scene. Or contrast it too. Sunlight glittering through leaves, thick fog to wade through, characters riding across hard frozen ground, and now the sky lighting up in a bright green. I enjoy painting a picture with the weather.

Yeeeeeeah. Turns out the aurora is pretty good tonight, too. I took quite a few photos and some time-lapse footage, too. Might take me a while to get through all of it. I've decided to turn in for the night (and warm up after 3 hours wandering trails in the Goldstream Valley).

Bright green aurora borealis fills the night sky above a snow-covered spruce forest. Broad, flowing aurora curtains arc overhead, with brighter bands twisting and overlapping against a dark, star-filled sky. The trees below are coated in snow and silhouetted against the glowing green light, with uneven drifts visible in the foreground.

And thanks to everyone for sharing!
