Dear Terry
We saw the aurora borealis nearly every night when living in Norther Finland, but more or less only during the winter. And they are looking different there, more dynamic, like curtains in the wind.
We especially like your last picture. Clever edited to make it look like a painting.
All the best

Thank you, KB! Seeing the northern lights in Finland is a must-see for me. That must be an amazing sight! Being as far south as we are, we’re super lucky to see them, but you need a camera or phone lens to see the colors. I’m glad you liked my slightly filtered Montana pic. I did that on my phone with the built-in editing app. Thanks for looking!
The easiest place to reach to see aurora borealis is Tromsø. You can fly from Oslo to Tromsø. There is a high chance too see the aurora borealis in winter. Actually we can see here the northern lights as well, not really but a reflection of it. We are situated 53 degrees N, not that far North. In Tromsø like here you can see the lights without a filter.
Hi Terri
Thank you very much.
We would rather like to be in Tromsø than here in Cley next the Sea with too hot sunshine.
Happy weekend

Thank you, Sofia! The aurora was an inspiration due to the solar storm activity 😁 I have waayyy too many pics of auroras. I feel lucky to have seen them as well as the images on our road trips. Storms are quite amazing.
These are great sky shots Terri – I am glad our stormy skies are finally gone, just plain rain overnight. Too much excitement with this weather. The Aurora shot is beautiful and we might have had one here in Michigan with another possible geomagnetic storm coming up, but we have more rain and clouds the rest of the week which will persist. Grrr!
Thanks, Linda! I hope you can see them when the skies clear. Our sun sets so late now, if there are northern lights you have to see them at 2 or 3am. We’re expecting rain this weekend here, not unusual.
Would you stay up until then Terri? We’ve not had good weather since last year to see the Aurora and the meteorologist I follow usually tries to pinpoint the time for us too.
Terri, I enjoyed all of your wonderful stormy images. You are the only one so far who though1 of the Aurora Borealis. That one and the strange June skies are my favorites. And of course I love the cat Stormy! Thanks for participating in the challenge.
Thank you, Beth! Your theme couldn’t have come at a better time. Hate to brag, but we see the northern lights a LOT! And I have tons of photos. Stormy popped up in my media files. He was a sweet cat.
