There are many myths and legends about the northern light.
This is a picture i took from my kitchen window some nights ago..
In my fjord, we say that you can't get a girl pregnant if you're making love under northern lights.
Take your chances, but I provide zero guarantees..!
For those who saw my paraglider video (https://steemit.com/dtube/@ialokin/fcv6qgkn) , the mountain we flew from can be seen to the right in the picture frame.
The northern lights picture was shot with a full frame DSLR, with a 24-105 f.4 lens.
Magic! Hopefully you'll get some Northern Lights tonight, much better than fireworks! Happy new year!
we dont take risk thanks for share info.. nice click
Absolutely gorgeous! I wish we didn't have so much light pollution here so we'd see more aurora borealis as well..
It is a magic moment when you see these. Have you ever heard a crackling sound when the colours are at their brightest?
I haven't, and I had to Google the phenomena! I wasn't aware of it....amazing!
Did you find out what causes it (the crackle)?
I’ve been looking AND listening for northern lights since you mentioned this. Unfortunately there haven’t been ideal conditions yet!
It seems like it still is uncertainty about the phenomenon, but it’s thought to be an energy release lower down in the atmosphere than where the lights are formed, due to electromagnetic ‘static’
Interesting! It’s easy to see why folklores were created ...!
“...research proves that the source of the sounds that are associated with the aurora borealis we see is likely caused by the same energetic particles from the sun that create the northern lights far away in the sky. “

Look. If you've got a girl and you're spending your time looking at the Northern Lights... Jus sayin'... ;)
Awesome picture!
I love to see the aurora borealis. And its my dream to see the northern lights live if i had a visit to Norway .
