AURORA BOREALIS
(Northern Lights)
in the sky of
PALTAMO


Aurora "fire" all over the sky with green, yellow, red and purple colours. There was a huge and lively aurora.

In the left corner you can see how aurora lights and colors the smoke from the wood own. There was so light outside that you could read even a text.
