Your Bio

Welcome to my photo gallery showcasing aurora borealis prints & time lapse movies of the Northern Lights in Alaska and California - captured during the most active aurora seasons between 2000 - 2013. The aurora borealis - also well known as the Northern Light - is an amazing visual display of a nature phenomena that is commonly confined to the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere (Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, etc). Throughout the Fall and Winter seasons, the Northern Lights are best observed and captured under clear and dark skies - far from any city lights and (ideally) during periods of strong solar and geomagnetic activity.
