About this capture: I hope this qualifies for earhtporn, as I know the landscape is all shadowy - but it is also a part of what I wanted to share - the green illumination of the landscape by the aurora. This was a KP level 7, which I believe equals a geomagnetic storm of 3. These numbers don't necessary mean that there are going to be a lot of northern lights. The explosions come and go, so one needs to know where to go (somewhere dark preferably) and wait for it to happen. There is a bit of light, then another, and before you know it the whole sky is exploding. No feeling compares to this.

It is taken in Lofoten island, northern Norway, this September. For those interested in more, you can see it on my instagram gallery
