These first photos are from a field right next to where i live in Helsinki. After about 40min of waiting i was already on my way back home, trying to think about a place outside the city with less light pollution where i could be able to see the auroras more clearly. And then i saw these amazing, green waves slowly forming all across the sky.
After about 5 minutes of green auroras there were some intense parts with hints of red in them. The camera captured those colors better than the naked eye.
This show lasted about 15 minutes and then i decided to hop into the car and drive about half an hour outside Helsinki and try to find a darker spot to view the lights in the night sky. I was not the only one outdoor last night looking to the sky. It was nice to see people connecting with nature and just sucking in the beauty of the northern lights.
It was truly a great night. I spent about two more hours looking at the dancing lights before i started to get tired as the auroras started to simmer down. As i returned to the car and started packing my equipment i looked up and this crazy corona of green and red rays bursted on top of me. Of course i had to take one last picture before heading home.
