Thank you for sharing your latest pics. It seems like you had more red this time.
Yes. It was like a light maroon for a while. The photos are kind of bad, but I was so tired after work.
I appreciate you taking the time to capture and share them with us.
Lovely pics, @fernwood! I really enjoy the sense of movement in them. It’s magical to watch them swirling and pulsating.
Last night (Saturday) was a dud locally, but supposedly tonight (Sunday) should be more promising. Also quieter, crowd-wise! Last night a solemn procession of dozens of people on bikes and e-bikes made their way in single file down to the coast area where we saw the lights Friday night. A flash mob on wheels, maybe! It was eerily charming.
P.S. Actually it was a bike rave. The coloured fairy lights on the bicycles were the closest we got to seeing the aurora that night
Yes, that’s his belt and sword.
Beautiful pictures everyone! I’m so sorry I missed it.
Because Sunday and Monday nights were a bust, my husband and I consoled ourselves by watching a CBC Nature of Things documentary on the northern lights (44 minutes). It’s really good — and answered all my questions and then some.
I will definitely check it out. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I did not see the aurora; I was told by what turned out to be erroneous news report that we could not see it this far southeast. I live on the NC/SC border. Here is a photo my next door neighbor took. Photo credit Jaimee W.
I would have missed quite a bit had it not been for the Aurora app. The local news said it would start about 11 PM. I started getting notifications around 9 PM.
It sounds like there may be renewed activity this coming weekend (June 1-2). A second chance, maybe, for those who missed the Aurora earlier in May.
Which app did you use, @here4turquoise ? I’m using the My Aurora Forecast app and it seems pretty solid. Always open to recs though!
@chamekke I use this app as well. It has not failed me.
