Aurora Borealis, the colored lights seen in the skies around the North Pole, the Northern Lights, from Bear Lake, Alaska, Beautiful Christmas Scene, Winter Star Filled Skies, Scenic Nature, a photo by Beverly & Pack on Flickr.

I won't accompany this photo with many words because I've said on here before - more than once I would imagine - how much I really want to see the northern lights. I can't resist showing you this magical photo though as the light and the colours are just beyond beautiful. The purple glow on the snow is just amazing.

I was a bit dubious about posting something so stunning after my little nesting doll photo but I couldn't wait to share this with you. It's a photo of Aurora - or Northern Lights - that was taken in Iceland. I would so love to see this for myself. Hopefully one day I will and I might just take some photos as well!

I don't really need to tell you why I think this photo is so great. If you didn't know what the Northern Lights were you might be thinking this was taken on another planet and aliens are about to pop out from behind the rocks. Amazing photo of an amazing sight.
