This is the Aurora Borealis - the Northern Lights. They are common at high lattitudes but not at the mid latitudes. There was a large solar flare with associated earthbound coronal mass ejection on Saturday. For information on aurorae and to sign up for a listserv to notify you when conditions are right for an occurance, check here:

Beautiful shots.

Auroras are very rare in many of the mid and southern US states, but they do happen once in a while. I witnessed my first Aurora the night before Halloween 2003, right here in New Jersey. It was unreal. The sky turned beet read and stayed that way for about 10-15 minutes. People as far south as Texas were posting pictures of it. It was an extremely large solar flare that caused it. One of the largest in about 10 years from what I remember.

Those are absolutely beautiful. It is a very strange sight. No wonder radio conditions today were so bad (I'm a ham radio operator). There was very little propagation and everything was very noisy. Since you had such a spectacular display so far south it must have been a whopper solar event.

Those are just beautiful. I wish I could witness once in my life time....., and if I am lucky enough, take a couple of shots...

Once again, nice shots.

Those are just beautiful. A couple years ago we were in Alaska and got lucky to see some Sept. Aurora Borealis but it was gold & silver. The colors in your photos are amazing!

Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Amazing, can you get those pictures by normal digital SLR without a telescope?

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further...And one fine morning -

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past......
