Someone in my mom’s neighbourhood got this picture.  I assume fancy camera techniques were involved.  (I’m sure it wasn’t that vibrant standing there).

I’m curious, the northern lights don’t seem very colourful this summer?  To my eyes, they are very bright, but not very colourful.  Just about white actually.  Has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve seen a lot more red then normal this summer so I’m not to sure. Sometimes they are pretty faded but here they’ve always been a light green at the very least.  Tonight at about 9:00 they were our pretty bright. They were really red for a little bit.  Was cold out so I didn’t stay out that long this time. On my iPad now so I don’t have the pics but I did post a few a couple hours ago on the other crop pics thread again.

I was commuting home last night on an airliner from LA. About over NY state is was getting dark and the captain announced that the Northern Lights were visible on the left side of the airplane. I was sitting in the last row of business class and not one person raised their shade to look. I've watched them from the cockpit on Europe or Asia flights for decades and never tired of it. People don't even look out the windows of airliners anymore. The first they do is pull the shades so they can see their phone better. Where's the wonder of nature? They're missing the cloud formations that are only visible from above. Yeah, a solid undercast is boring but towering cumulus at night lighted by internal lightning can be awesome.

I haven't seen the colors some posted here but I'm usually right underneath and have to look straight up this past week

[Super A_sepa]

Noticed them while we were chopping.   I don't think I've seen them before.

[supermechanic]

All nice and pink and glowy at my place, last time was about 50 years ago for me.

[SMDFarmboy24]

I don't think I've ever seen them before either. I did grab a picture after coming out of the barn stacking hay. 

[dale560]

They were even out this morning in nd. Coworker had a picture of them. I never even looked as I left for work

[Mr. Plow]

We missed them by about 30min, by the time we looked they were gone.

[Rawleigh99]

We saw them @10pm down here in Virginia.  Very unusual for us.

That picture made my day!  I’m still giggling about it.

The N. L. were good around these parts, too. Didn't get any pics, though.  For a chuckle- go to the tube thingy and type in "The Cremation of Sam McGee". Johnny Cash has a good version.  (The Northern Lights have seen strange sights but the strangest they ever did see was that night on the marge on Lake Labarge when I cremated Sam McGee).  Robert W. Service.

I thought I was funny and hoped some would here too. There were some really good pics here by everyone. I didn't see them here. Kept forgetting to look.
