It has always been a dream of mine to see the Northern Lights. My Australian friend is going this year.
She was told if you live in Europe, the easiest thing to do is head to the far northern parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland. This is the route she will be taking.
Not only will she see the Northern Lights, but Norway, Sweden and Finland. I am so happy for her. It will be the first time she will see snow.
She had to go and buy snow boots and winter clothes. I am excited for her.
I told her when I win the lottery and become a millionaire, maybe I can make the same trip.

In my dreams as well Carol. Great photo!
One of my dream destinations. If I won the lottery, I’d go there in a heartbeat.
Same here, in my dreams I suppose. 🙂
Stunning picture. I haven’t seen it before. I have to win the lottery too. ?
I have always wanted to go and see these lights. And the lottery too!
I have never seen it till now but I’ll try to withness it once for sure.
There are many sites out there to check this out. Here is one if you want to see more about this:

Thanks, let me check this link.
It must be an amazing view. It has been a dream of mine too even though I live in Europe.
I will have to be ok with only dreaming.
I’ve only seen it in pictures. This is the very magic of Nature.
Yes it is magical, and a dream of mine.
i have seen the Northern lights twice in my life. Once in Norway, and once in Alaska (there were many chances, just no lights many times).
I found the beauty in Alaska to be much greater but circumstances and time may have changed that perception.
I have read many routes you can take to see the magic. In my dreams I suppose I will see them.
there are many, i always wanted to see them from Siberia, past the areas where people are, there is little light pollution (human lights( and they are supposed to be magic!
I have never left the US and probably never will.
i would say you should choose Alaska then! you can take the Seattle to Fairbanks cruise, and see the lights!
I have been to Scandinavia quite a few times …. I saw the northern light in the most extreme north of Europe – North Cap in Norway, where the sun never sets
Lucky you my friend. Would love to go to any of those places one day.
This is a really long way for you … I want you to visit these places once
We have a friend who went to Iceland last year just for that Northern Lights. She said it was fantastic.
I am sure it was, I would love to go one day.
The Aurora borealis is apparently a magnificent light show. I would also love to see it one day but my old days are slowly creeping on me, so maybe not but at least I have your gorgeous picture to see over and over again…
We can dream together my friend. So many places I would like to visit.
The northern lights, Aurora, Borealis is my favorite natural apparition, I even named my eldest daughter, Aurora, and what a wonderful light she’s been in our lives. She has an extremely caring nature.
How special to name your daughter after the magical event Andre.
I lived in Europe for a bit over 20 years but never got to see the Northern Lights.
In my dreams I will seem them I suppose.
Beautiful picture. The Northern Lights are on my bucket list, quite near the top!! I may even get to see them at the end of next year. I am anticipating getting a large-ish sum of money around September 2021, so I am going to use at least some of that to do some travelling. I haven’t had a holiday abroad (or even in this country) for around 12 years, so I am definitely going abroad at the end of next year! One of the places on my list is Scandinavia, to see the Aurora.
I hope to get there one day but I don’t see it happening. Good luck Maggie, I hope you make it.
Of course, you will, you even said how via the (lotto) I hadn’t taken a Lotto for years and have recently spent a $1 per month these past three months and won tiny amounts every time. $10, then $85 and in December last year I got $150! If you don’t try you cannot win Carol, you deserve it, my friend. That’s what my wife said, we deserve it. ???????????????????
Thank you Carol. It is the thought of that which is keeping me going actually, travelling to see the Aurora, and other places I have always wanted to see. I haven’t had anything to look forward to for so long, that when I discovered I had this money coming, it made all the difference. Hope you get to see the lights at some point too.
How wonderful for you Maggie, I hope you enjoy each moment. You so deserve it. Take lots of photos!
Andre, I never get lucky but I keep trying. 🙂
I definitely will Carol! I will write about my travels and share photos here, so watch this space!
