Such a beautiful picture of the Aurora Borealis over the Lofoten Islands, Norway in summer, Spencer!
The snow capped polar peaks of the islands certainly stand out in the light!
I thought that Aurora Borealis occurred more often in winter, from what I have read about. Perhaps the further north or south you go, the more frequently you can see this spectacular phenomenon at any time of the year. Nice to know it also occurs in summer as well.
