A night I will never forget, the ethereal prisms of light dancing across the forested mountains of one of my favourite places in the world ✨
This campground was actually burned down a few years ago and was rebuilt over the last year. I'm not sure if it survived the fires this month, but I am sure that Jasper will bounce back as it always does 🇨🇦

While my dream may have come true to see the Aurora, I was a bit confused: where was the green? As the sky exploded with colour, most of it was pink and blue.
In almost all photos I had ever seen, the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) was a beautiful green colour, snaking across the sky as it moved through space and time. My friends in Scandinavia even call it the "Green Dragon" 🐉
Thankfully, I was not to be disappointed. As the pinks and blues faded away, new shards of green emerged, twinkling across the sky. But this was not the green dragon, this was something different. A deep ocean of green, stretching like prismatic waves across the mountainous skyline.
It was incredibly surreal experience to watch the entire night sky burst into green, showering me and everything around me with brilliant emerald light 🏔️🟢✨
And the show was just getting started 👀

Witnessing the Aurora Borealis was a dream of mine for as long as I could remember.
Living in southern Canada, it is an extremely rare occurrence for the Aurora to appear, especially in Toronto, where the light pollution makes it impossible. I always dreamed of travelling north and being lucky enough to witness this incredible natural phenomenon.
A few weeks ago, I travelled to Jasper, one of Canada's largest dark sky preserves.
As luck would have it, I was camping with a panoramic view of the mountains at the same time that the Earth was struck by the greatest solar storm in 20 years.
What are the odds that I was in one of the darkest places in the world, at the same time the Earth was hit with the solar storm of the millennia, with perfectly clear skies?
My mind was absolutely blown as I looked every direction, watching the swirling colours as the sky was painted with an ever-changing rainbow of photons energized by the sun 🌈
