wow very nice! unbelievable. I can't really imagine it while I never saw it myself

I was crossing a lake on a ferry when I first saw the 'Northern Lights'. It was amazing. They do just dance across the sky. It is definitely soemthing to see with your own eyes.

I,ve never seen them personally, but hubby did when he was working up north and he said it was amazing and truely humbling to see such awsome beauty!

We get them here in the Kootenays, and I saw tehm a couple of times in the Okanagan, too.

Thats really amazing! Your so lucky to have a front row seat to something so beautiful!

Yeah, now that i am back in the Kootenays, I'm not sure anyone can uproot me again! LOL

Well the Kooteneys is a great place! I don,t blame you one bit! But then i think you and i are really what ya call lovers of our beloved B.C.!

Oh, for sure! I have lived other places, but this is where I want to be. I still would love to travel, but that is different.

I have been lucky enough to see the Aurora twice from the edge of London. If I remember correctly it should be possible to see the Aurora on average 4 times a year this far south (51.5^oN). The reality is that with so much light polution from a city of 7 million people it is virtually impossible. Both times I saw them it was only because I had advanced warning of the possibility and both times they were almost drowned out by the orange light of the sodium street lights. All I could see was a slight flickering of the sky to the North. The beautiful colours and patterns were not visible.


A beautiful part of the World. It's been 21 years since I visited British Columbia and I must return. Fabulous dark night skies on the banks of Lake Okanagan.

The fact that you can see the Aurora from there rather makes my point about London. Kootenay National Park is actually 1 degree further south (50.5^oN) than where I am.

I love auroras, they're so magical, sadly I've never seen one, something I'd LOVE to see, is a nebula =)

I am fortunate enough to see them at least once a year. They put on a spectacular show at our lake. Our cabin is in a very remote part of Ontario so we have no light pollution. They are fabulous to watch.
