    I'd love to move further north just so I could experience this phenomenon (and the cooler climate would great, too).

    I also need to get away from this god awful light pollution.

    Very nice photographs. Do you have higher resolution versions available?

      I don't know if many Slashdotters know it but the Japanese believe that conceiving a child under the Northern Lights is a good luck thing. It seems that travel companies book tours to Alaska just for this reason.

    Damn damn damn! I had this link sent to me by a mutual friend 5 days ago! I should have submitted it... Oh well... I'll live. BY THE WAY - check out the rest of his site - he has some amazing pictures of tornados and lighting storms as well. This guy is one ballsy, talented photographer.
