There were some really nice Northern Lights last night. Despite the -22 degree weather, I decided to stand out in a foot of icy snow to try and capture them with my camera. I managed to get a few good shots, and the Övertorneå Community posted one of them on their home page.

I think this is the first time I was able to photograph the lights from the southern side of the house, so you can get an idea of the size of this light show. It wasn’t the brightest lights we’ve seen here, or the most active, but the shapes were amazing. At one point the streaks of light came together in one central point, making a kind of ring with star like rays shooting out from it.
