Russia is one of the 8 countries in the world where one can see  the Northern Lights.

Thank you Dasha for the postcard :)

Southern lights

Southern Lights from Dru Point, Margate, Tasmania.

The Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) are the counterpart of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). Auroras most commonly occur above a band of high latitudes in each hemisphere, known as the auroral zones. Each auroral zone is centred on the Earth’s magnetic poles, and lies between latitudes of approximately 50˚ and 60˚. The Southern Lights are less commonly seen than their northern counterpart, as there are comparatively few populated regions under the auroral zone of the Southern Hemisphere.

The Southern Lights are best seen from the islands of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. In Australia, they are occasionally observed in the southern skies of Tasmania.

Thank you Dennis for this amazing card and expanding my little 

collection of Aurora lights! I never knew that one could also see 

the aurora lights from Australia.

Finland's aurora borealis

The Northern lights illuminate the frosty "blue twilight"

The otherworldly phenomena, makes me wonder if one could get high enough and touch it, would we be transported into another world? There I am being fanciful, I always wonder if the fabric of our universe can be opened and traverse easily



Thank you Outi for this beautiful Northern lights card!
