No matter how you call it, this phenomenon is AMAZING!!!
I feel so lucky to be in Norway these days!
The first time I experienced it it was in March 2010! Oh God! What an excitement!!
It was not so intense and fairly white but for me was a thrilling experience! I had seen thousands of photos, I had read about it, I had watched documentaries and I had spend three winter months in Norway being extremely unlucky on this, before that night! I was hanging half outside my window (I have the best view over the city and the sea and the sky), calling my family and broadcasting what was going on (!!), freezing to death for hours. When I got extremely tired, still I didn't want to miss a moment from the miracle, so I moved my dinner table next to the window, I took my blanket and I laid there to sleep. Well, if one can actually call it sleep because I was falling asleep and waking up, taking a glance outside, feeling the happiness running in my veins, falling again asleep with a big big smile...
Since then I've seen the northern lights six more times. I can't help it! I'm extremely enthusiastic every single time! It's because of its outerspace and unexpected nature contrary to my earthy qualities, it's because it reveals me the size of the universe and how small my problems are, because it reminds me that dreams come true, that every single moment can be a happy one if you add a dose of excitement, a dose of beauty!
Last week and tonight we were blessed with the most vivid and intense Auroras than all the previous times! Even in the city you could see the fantastic green shapes and with good cameras my friends managed to capture even the purple and red colours! I tried to take some pictures with my new camera too. They are not so good but I love them! I do so because I wasn't able to take this kind of photos with my old camera and I had been waiting quite some time until I buy a new camera but far more importantly because I captured a boring evening which turned to be exciting and challenging (I have a long long road ahead for a good photo) and fulfilling!
Let's say I captured happiness, in its green particle state!!
