I’m just getting so lucky with weather phenomena lately. First, the most spectacular electrical storm I’ve ever seen (which I managed to get some great photos of) and now the Aurora freaking Borealis in my back garden. Unbelievable.

The photos don’t really do it justice.. It sort of ripples through the sky at astounding speed.. I’ve always wanted to see it, and even though this was very faint, it was still very cool. I’d like to go up to Alaska (or Norway) one day to get a better look..

Anyway, here’s a shot:

A bunch more can be found in my gallery.

Got a couple of nice eclipse shots last night. Better than the last time I tried (last year, with up at Deception Pass). Check it out:

Forgot to add this before.. I posted the rest of the lightning photos on my photo page. I quite like some of the earlier ones, even though they don’t necessarily have clearly visible strikes:

The way the sky is all lit up is pretty cool. The 2 that I posted in my journal before are the last 2 in the series. All in all I’m very pleased with the series of photos, and very grateful I had this oppurtunity to take the photos at all. Unless you live in an area prone to storms, chances like that don’t come along too often.
