My Little Dream Came True And I Captured Aurora Borealis In Riga, Latvia

I have always looked at the pictures of Northern Lights and dreamed to witness this phenomenon with my own eyes. I always thought that I would have to go to some far away corner of Nordic country like Norway or Finland to be able to capture it because I live in Riga, Latvia were this nature’s phenomenon isn’t common.

But couple months ago, when I was sitting at home and working on some projects, I heard in the news a warning about an upcoming strong magnetic storm. So without any hesitation, I rushed to the nearest seaside and there it was – Aurora Borealis in all it’s beauty. A little dream come true for me and new experimenting grounds for my photography. Nature never stops to amaze me with its unpredictability and raw beauty!
