I can't think of a better thing to be named after :) Thanks Mom and Dad :)
My 5yr old girl is addicted to your video. Thank you for sharing.
Stunningly beautiful. Instead of worrying, a journey of light.
Thanks
such grace a beauty, this world is so beautiful, but we lose sight of it, lost in our daily work, school and family. some of us never get time to go out and experience this beautiful act of nature. Sometimes you just gotta sit back and enjoy life. Its so short yet so beautiful.
This is a great video you have here. It's the best one I've found on UA-cam so far that comes close to resembling the Aurora Borialis that I saw one night long ago.
Way back in 1976, I was in the US Army and stationed at Ft. Wainright, Alaska, which is just outside of Fairbanks. We were up there for winter war games, stationed TDY for a month. I had a gravy gig while I was up there. I drove the shuttle "bus," which made hourly trips from the barracks to the NCO club, until it closed, which I think was midnight. This "bus" was actually a Deuce-and-a-half 10-wheeler with six-wheel drive and with an arctic personnel carrier module on the back. It was insulated and had its own heater. But up front where I was, there was no heater, so I was driving around in temps on average of -30F. I got used to it.
Anyway, because I was doing the night thing I got lucky and was outside the barracks when an Aurora Borialis show started up and it was like nothing I'd ever seen before. Sure I'd seen photos of the Aurora Borialis taken from hundreds of miles south of where they were occurring, and they just looked like some sort of diaphanous, shimmering, multicolored sheets hovering in the sky. Interesting, but nothing special. Well, yeah, but I'd never been directly under them when they were getting all fired up, either.
This video has sections showing the Aurora Borialis that are very similar to what I experienced on only a single night in January, 1976. There was only that one night during my month's stay when there was an Aurora Borialis display. But it was simply magnificent. The display was very bright and appeared to be almost pure white with some light color fringing on the edges. I suspect that, with a strong Aurora Borialis display such as the one I saw, the closer you get to it, the more intensely bright it becomes, thus the color is washed out. In other words, if I were viewing this display from, say, Anchorage, I would see it as being much more colorful.
The view was just spectacular. I was in awe, captivated by the event that lasted most of the night. These thick sheets of light would race from one horizon to the next in a fraction of a second, directly overhead. Twisting and writhing like heavenly serpents as they shot across the sky. Sometimes they would come together and braid themselves into a continuous intertwining, weaving, racing rope of light.
I will remember that night for as long as I live. Thanks for this video. It's the closest I've seen to what I actually experienced that night.
6 years after my original comment I once again feel compelled to post my gratitude for such a beautiful video. It really is one of the best that show cases the wondrous beauty of the aurora. Thank you
This video gives me a feeling unexplainable. Its like separating from reality and into such a peaceful place. This will definately be on loop when i go to sleep. So so beautiful
So beautiful. Thank you, my sweet younger brother Jeremy, for making this video and posting it. It's good for the soul. Especially the soul that no longer lives in AK and cannot see the northern lights but misses them.
Was he really your brother.
I've watched it now 3 times and truly... just breath-taking!!! I've seen the Northern Lights one time when they reached down to WNY and ever since its been on my re-bucket list. Awesome work gentlemen!!!
Beautiful imagery matched only by the incredible choice of musical backdrop. Simply stunning.
The array of colors are baffling, beautiful and if your close you can touch them.
Aurora and nice music, heals gently heart tired to fight.
素晴らしいですね♪
オーロラの色って美しいですね！
綺麗ですね！
寝むれない時に3分で眠れる☆不思議な☆私のとっておきのオーロラさんです❤
Thank you for posting this video. BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
Wow so beautiful the music makes it so calming and even better
Beautiful video! I live in Alaska and am treated to this spiritual display at least a couple of times a week. The freedoms we have here combined with these amazing displays, I would never live anywhere else. Thanks for the upload!
Amazing dance of the Mystical Sky... beautiful !!
Man... just absolutely beautiful...
I would love to witness this before I die. Thank you for such a lovely video! It does make me make want to cry. We are filled with so much crap, and really none of it really matters when you see something like this.
Enjoyed it very much, wonderfull combination of music en light. Thank you :-) Greetings from the Netherlands.
Beautiful and the music with it is magnificent
Honestly, there are very few things out there that can match the beauty of aurora !
Thanks to all for your kind words. Glad you like it.
Wow. Beautiful. I would love to see this in person one day :)
Aurora Borealis is one of the most beautiful sights of nature. We got lucky this october too!
Aurora Borealis : The Song of the Sun
Awsome, I am speachless, compaired to this we people are so tiny. .But to me it is also a bit scary,because it is so big and great. Thank you for this beautiful video of some of the worlds wonders !
This is REAL art
So beautiful! Is this real? I can't imagine being at the sight of something so magical! I want to visit Alaska now!
Alaska isn't the only state with the Northern lights. I have seen then going down I5 in Northern California. My son-in-law sees then in Northern Michigan. I grew up in Anchorage AK in the 60's and 70's. We could see them in town and they are amazing. One night at a drive-in they appeared. Everyone got out and laid on their cars to see them. Better than a movie!
Awesome!!
When I was young,I was told that there was a belief in folklore that the northern Lights were supposedly the torch light of spirits who had died violent deaths during their lives and that the wavy currents of light was the way those dead beckon and welcome those forthcoming.
Que bella experiencia! Como me gustaría verla algún dia enfrente de mi.
Thank you for sharing, it is amazing.. and the music muy ad-hoc.
Love it, GOD's work is just alsome!
crazy beautiful
Wow! This is spectacular!
Speechless.
I saved this awhile back, and was just going to briefly listen to it to see what it was but I cant bring myself to click out of the tab. I'm now at the 2 minute mark...
Awesome guys!
How sweet! Thank you.
Beautiful
wow so breathtaking, I want to go here for my honey moon :)
Thank you!
Jeez this is just breathtaking
Thank you lots! :) love it! Totally fits the scenery!
I want to go here at least once. ..
Jon Bailey, the photographer, used a tripod and an insulated box to keep the batteries and other gear warm through the cold night. Set it up, start it, and come back in the morning… This movie was created from long series of still photographs, since most movie cameras can't capture enough light. The still photos are played back at higher-than-realtime speed. (The aurora really does move and shimmer like you see, both fast and slow.)
I knew someone who drove their convertable with the top down on a freezing cold night to see this. It was quite a story.
very humbling indeed.
im in love!!!!!!
The music is "Song of the Waves", by Iona.
AWESOME!!!
Lovely.
Subhanallah...beautiful aurora borealis
man .. why did i get so emotional?
Amazing
너무 멋져요 환상적이네요 오로라 현상인가요...

They are visibility markers on a power line, for small aircraft.
Thanks ! I really appreciate it
america the beautiful. Happy belated 4th!
Mais um lindo espetáculo da Aurora Bureal. Em 26.03.2012.
Lovely
Amazing what a camera can do....you'd have to be in the space module to see that! Nice music effect though!
Awesome. What month that was ?
Thanks
The aurora was fairly bright sometimes, as you can see by the clear reflections in the river. But the exposure on the RAW files, in Lightroom, has been increased quite a bit.
This has been my dream since i saw Brother bear. I was 6.
Now i'm planning to go there and see the Northern Lights, and it would be my first trip by my own.
But, please, would you tell me when (Month) this was filmed, please? I want to know which is the best month to see them.
Thank you so much.
tent4cles, in the summer it's too bright at night. March and September are the best combination of weather (not too harsh) and solar activity.
What is the name of the song ? I tried " Song of the Waves" but it doesnt work :\ can u reply to me please ?
Just beautiful!
There are three black dots in the sky in the shots from over the water (1:30ish). Do you know what they are?
Fantastique..de Beau.
INFINITAMENTE HERMOSO. ES UN DELEITE PODER DIFRUTAR TANTA BELLEZA NORMA
“How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions.”-Psalm 104:24.
very nice video, what was your aperture, shutter, and ISO settings??
Love the time lapse can you explain how you took this ?
thanks
My wish I can see this !!😔
WOW!
welcome to my world...Alaska
Las amo!!
A Friend told me a story about waking up in the "cold might" and driving with the top down on her convertible freezing cold just to see the northern lights.
is there a link to download this beautiful video? i'd like to put it on my Windows background as video using Dreamscene. :)
This really got to me.
It's from Iona's anthology River Flows, volume 1. I linked to the band in the description.
Im going to here someday before I die
They are markers to prevent small aircraft from flying into the power lines.
すごいすごいすごい！！
After watching this,My life is completed T_T
Iso 400, 10 sec @ f2.8?? The video looks pretty bright! When I do night time lapse I usually do ISO 3200, 30 sec @ f2.8, which is 9 stops more light than your setting. Is aurora really bright???
Wow.
What are the those black dots in the sky it not my phone I tried wiping them
There's also a bright light moving May a pane
朋友謝謝給予美月分亨，感恩♥
Do you mean post it as a video response, ahndryus?
coooooooool
It's as if the Earth is one giant prism, converting the suns rays into colors.
Hello I'm a student at Sweetwater High School in control of my school plays sound system and I was wondering if we can use this videos sound. Thank you for your time sincerely Arianna.
I can't give you personal permission for the audio, Arianna; it's by the band Iona, from their soundtrack 'Snowdonia'. You'd need to ask them.
Jeremy Austin Do you know which song specifically?
"Song of the Waves", as it says on the video.
Can i use this for a Lyric Video? I'd give you credit
Milton Diaz would love to see it prior to posting publicly if possible - should be doable with proper credit
你拍的好棒!!
I've put a link to the track on Grooveshark into the video description above.
