30 Great Aurora Borealis Photographs
May 24, 2009
Aurora Borealis, Auroras, Northern or Southern lights or even just Aurora are all the same... They are different ways of calling the natural lights phenomenon sometimes displayed at the sky, usually at night, particularly at the Polar Regions. The aurora borealis most often happens from September to October and from March to April. The northern lights have had several names through the times and one that I thought pretty interesting was "The Dance of the Spirits".
Here we will show some great photos I found from this phenomenon on Flickr. Most of these pictures had no photoshop work on it, they are real scenes, and the ones that had photoshop was just to emphasize the lights, not to create them. At least that is what is written under the users comments at the images on Flickr. :)
If you want to get more info about Aurora Borealis check out Wikipedia and for some tips to photograph it, go to this Photo Blog.
Enjoy!

Crazy thing, I went to alaska for a winter. And I got to see this. It was weird, everything felt silent and empty. And you saw that in the sky, like dancing ghosts.
Really, cast a spell
Simply amazing. This is so beautiful... Thanks for sharing! ;)
are they actually real?
The Aurora Borealis is STUNNING. I would LOVE to see it in person, but for now, this is a fantastic collection of photographs! Thanks for sharing!
yes they are real!!
Of course they are real !
Its an electromagnetic phenomenon,its like a huge attack from the sun with electromagnetic particles that are burning in the atmosphere.
This just happens on the poles and its really cool but it could be also dangerous for the earth.
Thanks for sharing! ;)

Awesome shots, thanks for sharing
Heavenly! Just Heavenly!
Everybody should have the opportunity to see one of these for real (specially those who doubt the pictures are real at all). You really do feel small in the universe when you see this floating in the sky.. o_O!
quite unmistakingly unbelivable.
If you liked these, I have a slideshow of my own at:
