My daughter took these pictures from her upstairs window last night. She lives in St. Albert, Alberta which is more or less a part of Edmonton.

Nice pictures! I like how the stars are poking through.
Thanks for the great pics! That's on my bucket list for sure!
Very beautiful and eerie.
My bucketlist as well.
I've read where this is a particle reaction of some sort as the pole pulls them into the magnetic field. But that leaves the question, why are there no Southern lights?

My grandpa took our family to Canada years ago for a fishing trip. One night my dad woke me up at 2am to go look at the northern lights. It's something I'll never forget. Yet something I can never properly describe.
Great pictures! A picture is truly worth a thousand words here.

Really great pictures. I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights and still have hope that I someday will. Thanks for posting
Actually there are southern lights, known as the aurora australis; whereas the northern lights are the aurora borealis.
prairiedruid - right on mate! I was going to use the correct, scientific naming but decided Northern Lights was just fine.
wow another example of how nature is full of beauty. Reminds me of one of the first genuinely religious experiences I've had was being overwhelmed by the beauty of nature in part and in whole and just thinking this is evidence of a creator who maybe many things but has love for us and provides such splendor just for being. Sorry to wax philosophical, wait no apology what do you expect sharing something like this

Can you imagine what went through the minds of the first people to see that?? Something I've always wanted to see.
Very cool pics. I worked with a person who lived in Fairbanks, Alaska. She had many pics and vids of Northern Lights from her back yard. Would love to see this in person some day.
Gee, just read an article in the newspaper that the Northern Lights may well be visible in New England tonight, even as far south as Massachusetts. Hope so.
Not a good feeling, I take it, and I relate. It portends something, like the title of the famous novel then made movie.
I used to live in northern Manitoba, in a small mining town called Leaf Rapids. I was an open pit surveyor. This will sound magical or mysterious or crazy; but when it was really cold and the northern lights were burning bright in the sky, you could hear them faintly hiss. Like a medium volume sound or the sound of steam hissing out of a steam heating system at very low pressure. It was extremely fascinating. At those times the lights were just overhead and totally breath-taking. I have no idea as to the science behind the phenomena of the lights, but I'm just content to see them. They are amazing when you can take a short walk and get out of any of the ambient light from city or town, and view them solely in the dark of the night.
anotherbob: I totally agree.
