When I headed up to Norway recently, I was briefly excited about having the opportunity to see the Northern Lights. Then, of course, I remembered that it was the wrong season for that and rather than darkness, the skies would pretty much be light through the night. Sigh.
And so to get a taste of what the Northern lights actually look like, I have to turn instead to this photo by fiznatty. Taken in Sweden (though not recently…right?), it is actually a very professionally composed shot. But we expect nothing less from our Gadling Flickr site contributors.
