The weather continues to be wonderful, and though I haven’t been feeling well recently I really needed to get out, so I was determined yesterday to load up the e-bike and go somewhere for a major Adventure, though I had no idea where that might be. I’m usually up...

We got home last night from 9 days at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. A few minutes before 02:00 on September 4th, an excellent display began. As is often the case, I woke up just before it began. When the show started, I quickly got my camera gear...

It felt like years since I’d been out on an aurora hunt, but I see in the blog post archives that I was out four times last Fall. In any case, I miss seeing Lady Aurora, and there have already been a few good shows this year, so when...

I’ve just come in from one of the most amazing aurora shows I’ve ever seen, and after dying down, it’s ramping up again as I write this. There are photos being posted from all over Canada, so a whole lot of people are getting to experience this one. Although...

Every year about this time, I start seeing photos of an incredible white aurora. It’s hard to imagine how many million times these 3 photos have been posted, often as “The Hem of His Garment” Aurora Borealis in Finland, but they’ve also been posted as the aurora in the...

One of the big gifts that Mother Nature sent me during our 9 days at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake was 4 mornings of aurora borealis displays. They were a very big surprise as the aurora forecast I rely on said there was pretty much no chance of...

A friend and I finally got out for a bit of aurora borealis photography last night. There have been some good shows this season already but this was my first time out due my ongoing brain injury challenges. The aurora forecast has been good for the past 3 nights,...

Unable to get comfortable, I was up extra early this morning – 02:00. As usual, the first thing I did was step out onto the deck to check out the weather and sky. It was 7°C (45°F) and hmmmm – there was a sort of mist across the sky...

Last Friday (September 27th), the aurora forecast was very good so a friend and I headed out, planning on a long night of photography. We first went to the Lake Laberge Campground, arriving early so we could watch day transition into night. I was very surprised by how many...
