I remember walking one night with a couple of friends for at least a couple of hours. Eventually we reached a clearing. I need to get back to that clearing because it was quite the vista and my shots didn't work out. This one did. I looked up for a whole 20 seconds and the northern lights ripped upon the night sky, cascading a tremendously fast burst of green light that faded out again in less than 30 seconds.

There's nothing more magical than to witness the northern lights. Very nice capture.

That looks like some kind of spirit going towards the left. Looks absolutely fascinating. :)
