A few favorites from the first stop on our Northern Lights marathon chase from Thursday night. This is Anasquam Lighthouse in Gloucester MA. It was very windy when we arrived just after sunset. As soon as it started to get dark we could see the lights. They were all around us - not just north. Ribbons of pink and green dancing above - the colors constantly changing and shifting. The wind finally died off as the tide receded so we were able to move down to the beach for a better view with some reflections in the sand. This was the first stop of 5 as we chased the lights from Cape Ann all the way up to southern Maine.

Excellent shots! Hard to pick a favorite.
 
Beautiful shots :). Was this what you saw with your eyes or is it what the camera saw? There were few photos posted on one local social media site here in Vancouver but they were, I think, long exposure or whatnot. I couldn't see anything with my eyes.

Thanks Cheryl!

The camera sees much more but yes we could see them clearly with just our eyes. We were in a very dark location facing out into the open ocean. Most of these are 3 second exposures.
Wonderful!
Thanks!
