Wow!
Do you think the photographer intentionally had the camera aimed at the north star, so everything rotated about it during this?
Seeing the northern lights in person is on my bucket list. In all the time up north hunting and snowmobiling, have never been lucky enough to see them

X2 that is awesome!!!
This was too good not to share if it was not posted, I have watched it a few times already.
If it looked this good on camera, I can't imagine what it would be like in person!
There was a old John Denver song that had "Singing skies & dancing waters" in the lyrics and that came to mind when I saw the video,,,,,,,even though I have not heard the song in about 30 years!
Gotta go now and watch it again, Cheers!

Time lapse and night viewing are so important to gaining perspectives that I could not imagine viewing the night sky without at least some of it.
For those of you with slower connections, let the full download occur and drag the timer back to the beginning...you will not have the starts and stops to contend with.
Great choice of sound additions....
And for those of you who get to spend some time along Lake Superior on your trips up there riding, be sure to set aside some time to get down to the water's edge away from town after dark and take some of this in. I won't say that it is life changing...but it is close; and helps us mortals gather a perspective on how insignificant we are in the scheme of things.</SPAN>
From those of us far away from the water’s edge, thank you for sharing a little slice of heaven….God’s country as a bonus. </SPAN>

Nice time lapse series! But so low on the horizon.
Reminds me of nights near the north end of Larson Road north of Bruce Crossing as a kid in the early to mid 1950s, when the Northern Lights appeared as MONSTER HUGE multi-colored, heavily pleated old theatrical front curtains/Grand Drapes, hanging directly overhead from the "top of the sky", rippling in a "gentle breeze" and slowly changing colors! Awesome! Will we ever see that again?
And multitudes of fireflies were following us along, watching the same show, with their display perhaps inspired by that scene. Where did the fireflies go? I haven't seen one in decades!
