Stunning Northern Lights under the Finnish sky

The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, started their dance at around 10:30 p.m. local (1930 GMT) to the delight of local photographers and a few tourists visiting Lapland in northern Finland.

The auroras kept showing for several hours and while it looked like the show was coming to an end at around 2 a.m., the auroras came back even stronger, lighting up the sky without interruption for over 30 minutes in a myriad of colors from fluorescent greens and white to pink and purple.

The end of September is usually a good time for spotting Northern Lights, a result of electrically charged particles from the sun entering the Earth's atmosphere.
