Aurora Borealis in Murmansk

Aurora

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a natural phenomenon worth researching. The hows, whys, and whens are not as stunning as just sitting back and looking at it though. This series of photos gives us a glimpse of what the Aurora looks like from Murmansk, Russia.

I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot the Aurora, but I plan to one day have my own photos of both auroras borealis and australis.

    Both are phenomena that I, too, find beautiful. I hope that I’m someday able to travel and see them myself.

    We must be reading the same feeds! I linked the same article from something I saw on Warren Ellis’ blog. Good stuff.

    J. Phil: I am not sure where I saw it (as I typically give attribution when I do remember) but I think it may have been Coudal Partners.

    Oh, I wasn’t trying to make a point or anything. I was more delighted by the coincidence.

    Anyway, Warren Ellis didn’t give anyone credit, and I’m pretty sure he didn’t go to Murmansk to take the pictures.
