Northern Scenery and the Northern Lights - Dog Sledding Part 2

A fairly quick post with lots of pictures.

Northern Sweden is gorgeous and also very cold. Our tour guide guessed that the like was at least a metre deep.

We got to see the Northern Lights! At first they were really boring, just a slight white glow. Sometimes is was slightly green or blue.

The third time we went out they were amazing. They looked much better than this picture. I did fiddle with the last two photos to make them look more like what we saw. It started out as stationary light, mostly white, and then all of a sudden they started moving and changing colour directly above us.

This is from when the light exploded outward and went from white to a mix of colours. We got really lucky.

Tomorrow will be the actual dog sledding.
