If given a whole row to themselves in a flight from San Francisco to Paris, most people would just sleep. Not this passenger, who set up his Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR camera on a tripod and attached a timelapse controller.

When he pointed his 16mm-to-35mm lens out his airplane window, the result (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/mashable/tc_mashable/storytext/timelapse_video_of_san_franciscotoparis_flight_cap tures_aurora_borealis/41010461/SIG=10tsmd04t/*http://beepshow.com/sf2cdg/) was this remarkable timelapse video of his 11-hour flight.
Taking that Great Circle route above the polar regions, the video flies us through the aurora borealis, giving us a look at those spectacular northern lights

Wow! If there is something I would like to see in my lifetime it is the aurora borealis!
