Yeah, me too. I'd love to get the chance to photograph that.

No, I have not seen these but I would love to as the Northern Lights are one of the marvels of the world and supposed to be spectacular. It is a long way for me to travel though. 
I have heard of people travelling all the way there only to see nothing as they were there at the wrong time of year, so you have to do your homework I think before visiting!

Obviously, the travel market knows that they are on many peoples lists so they charge big money just for the round trip and, as you say, you may see nothing at all. Joanna Lumley did a documentary in which she went in search of them and I thought how unfair it was that the BBC had probably funded her trip when she could have paid for it herself...

Yes, how unfair indeed!
They could have paid for me or you to do it...but then would anyone have watched it?

Hi, Wizzywig! I just posted a link with a video of the Northern lights. I have seen them where I live, but not so often lately. Looking too much at my computer..

I haven't seen the Northern Lights myself, but I did see something similar one night in a cornfield when I was a teenager. It was caused by the harvest moon rising. Really quite beautiful.

I watched the full moon rise on my right just after the sun set on my left one evening. That was pretty impressive - tho not at all the same sort of sight. I'd gone for a drive with my parents and my son to a point where we can see a long way in both directions

Well I actually plan to go see them somewhere in the future...
Some of my friends have been there and seen the northern lights with their very own eyes, however others were a bit unlucky, coz it really depends, the Aurora won't be there the whole winter, just some days of it..in Russia they can be seen in Murmansk..where do u plan to see them? canada?
