Birth, life and fading of the Northern Lights over Lake Inari

 1st picture 9:48pm, Lake Inari, North-East

 Due West

 Due North

 The Lights grow stronger..

 ...and stronger...

 ...and start undulating.

 Peak of activity, starting around 10:30pm

The dance is starting, impossible to capture with a still picture

But 'tis engraved in my memory 

We can now feel the activity is much less intense, the Lights are fading. It's about 11pm 

The last fringes of the first Northern Lights I ever saw slowly fade into space.

I will never forget.
