After
weeks of dull grey weather around the town of Tromsø, the
skies cleared up tonight and revealed a colourful show above.
A very distinct and stationary band could be seen in the
far south and curtains in purple, red and green dominated
the northern view, stretching from west to east. Spaceweather
at it`s best and a very direct feeling of the connection
between the Sun and the Earth. Nikon D3, AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm
f/2,8, various settings |

Was
quite a surprise to have this sudden burst of activity just
before 11:00pm local time. There was so much going on it
was hard to choose where to point the camera. And it was
all happening so fast. No time to waste between shots at
all. About time this kind of show starts happening again.
It has been way too long. Canon 5D Mark II. ISO 6400, f2.8m
2 second exposures. |

It
was partly cloudy tonight, but the powerful auroras performed
a spectacular show. |

impact... I'll say! WOW! The show started slowly, very high
in the sky. Then it just erupted into a beautiful intense
display. It lasted about an hour. At one point the auroras
went directly overhead and touched both western and eastern
horizons! Images taken with a Canon 5D mark2, ISO 800-1250,
1 to 15 seconds exposures. |

Whole sky was lit up in spectacular color and lines!
The sky was filled enough to color the snow!
