I thought they were in canada

The time to go and see them is 2010 or 2011.

I'm not sure of the exact date, but there is a cycle
every 10 years or so.

In 2001 occured the last cycle and there were
mad reds, blues, yellows crazy stuff all over the place.

I am definately going to be back in Northern Finland
that Autumn.:)

I live in southern Finland and this past winter was the first winter in my 8 years of living here that I haven't seen the northern lights. It's not a 10 year cycle like you said. There's a website somewhere (can't remember where) that can show you when and where to expect northern light with 2-3 days' notice. We, in Finland, normally are informed by the daily newspapers that the northern lights should be seen that following evening.

holy crap man, that's fantastic. Where did you take that picture?

I haven't seen the northern lights since I lived in the Highlands of Scotland...

nice photos

I saw the Northern Lights once in Ardnacrusha, Co. Clare. Was on my way to work one morning about 5am and had to do a double take, I couldn't believe it. Didn't have a camera unfortunately

Saw them in Dublin years ago but very faint. I was supposed to go to Iceland this summer but can't afford it now

Good stuff - nice pics. I seen so many of these Northern Lights when I was in northern Sewden 3 years ago. Your photos instantly brought back so many memories.

Nice one.

I saw them in Dublin once. My mate was so sure it wasnt them and the next day we checked the newspaper and I was right. Great sight.
