Last night we finally got to see northern lights. It was absolutely mind-blowing, and I can totally see why people have it on their bucket list. It's impossible to take pictures of it with a phone, so I'm sorry for the bad quality, but at least it's proof that I actually saw it ... even though this picture was taken by a friend ... ;) It was very fascinating watching it as it danced above us. I guess it's what you can call true magic.
The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as 'Aurora borealis' in the north and 'Aurora australis' in the south.

A picture from before it got dark yesterday. Again, bad picture, but still ... beautiful nature <3
Hope everyone have had a great Christmas.
