Northern Lights in Tornio

Last night was possible to see northern lights (aurora borealis) here in Tornio. I took this shot from our balcony towards city hall, which is the highest building in the middle.

Numbers in the Northern Lights forecast have been very high today for the whole evening and night. Unfortunately there came also some clouds, so I couldn´t take so many photos. Hopefully some evening again.

Northern Lights Season Has Started

Looks like Northern Lights season has already started here in Tornio, which is in south Lapland in Finland. There has been Northern Lights already many nights during last week. This photo I took from our condo balcony few nights ago.

This is just a beginning of the Northern Lights season. Best time to see Northern Lights is usually from January to March, when are cold and clear nights, so this was nice surprise to see the Northern Lights already now. Waiting for the more clear nights!
