Very nice! hard to believe your weather is cool enough; we are having record breaking heat this week. 102-105! And with the severe drought we are in, the fires are bad.

Thanks Maureen! At least the sky was clear. In the past week we had low temps of around freezing, with some frost, but tonight isn't as cold.....around +8C, or 46F.

Beautiful auroras !

Thanks!

Great job Ian. I saw that there was a pretty good chance to see the Lights this weekend. I would like to see the Aurora Borealis some day.

Thanks Brad....last night was our only chance, as tonight is supposed to be cloudy and rainy, so I figured I'd better get out and see it for the first time in my life....it didn't disappoint!

Good captures..

There was a large solar flare on the 9th so I had my camera mounted on the tripod and sitting by the back door over the last two nights expecting to see a good display. Unfortunately, nothing much appeared.

Thanks Jim. This was all over the news so I went down to the beach to wait. The aurora was slow to build, but it finally did and was well worth the wait. Mind you, I had a cute female photographer beside me so that sure helped pass the time .
