11 insane photos of the Northern Lights over Calgary and surrounding areas

For the past two days, November 4 and 5, the gorgeous Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis could be seen over Calgary and the surrounding areas. Vibrant greens, purples and blues were so bright that if you were up in the early morning you would have been able to see them in the city.

Here are some of our favourite photos of the insane Northern Lights:

Two nights of northern lights chasing with work the following morning has left me a little exhausted. This is just a quick edit of the JPEG on snapseed. I will hopefully have time/energy to get to the RAW files tonight.

If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night I bet they would live a little differently 🌜⭐️
