    Northern lights in Southern Norway

    By Wiciwato  |  Posted August 4, 2010  |  Grimstad, Norway
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Wiciwato captured some amazing shots of the northern lights early Wednesday. 'I couldn't believe my own eyes when I looked at the camera screen and saw it,' he said. 'When I realized I've actually witnessed the northern lights I just began to smile, because I had started to doubt that I would see it.' He added that the lights were most visible around 1:30 a.m. 'I actually started to cry a little. It was such a beautiful sight.'
    - katie, CNN iReport producer

    I actually didn't expect to see any northern light when I traveled down to the lake, but after I saw the first picture on the camera screen I got shocked. I glimpsed some green light behind some trees. When i got around the trees I didn't actually see it with my naked eye, but after some minutes with photographing it struck me: It's the northern lights!

     

    Around 01:30  norwegian time the light was incredible, so powerful and beautiful it could easily be seen without the camera.
