Gorgeous pictures.

I'd love to see the northern lights some day... but I don't too well in the cold so I'm not sure that will happen

Great pictures. Keep them coming. I really enjoyed these. Thank you.

Very nice, Rance. I see that you are getting better and better with the Auroras.

Well I finally brought a tripod to work so they are more steady.

I've seen them in August, and it wasn't cold at all. They are more common in the winter, but happen all year occasionally.

Got a few more last night!

Wow, utterly beautiful. I REALLY want to see these someday. Ive heard of people in Chicagoland seeing them around, but Ive never personally witnessed that beautiful phenomonon. Ugh. One day.....

Rance, How often do you see the lights? Is there one particular season that there around more than another?

Thanks, Josh

Well they are much more brilliant and occure more often in winter. But I've seen them in the fall and late spring. It doesn't get really dark enough in the summer months.
