Thanks Simon for sharing your version of that truly unforgettable night! 🙏 Though they're all great, I think my favorite photo from the video is the sunset one..gorgeous scene with the pink and purple at 4:10! 😃

[@simoncennals]

Thanks Richie. There are some great shots to be had at cascade ponds at most times of day!

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Wow!! Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. 👍31

How amazing. I cant imagine what it must have been like to be there. The Aurora is still on my bucket list. Hope to see it at least once in my life.

[@simoncennals]

I believe we're at solar maximum for the rest of the year. I'm not entirely sure what that means but should mean more northern light storms!

[@virtualbigboxph]

Amazing shot!!!!❤❤❤

[@kellybeairsto6107]

Fantastic!!

[@phyllisdantzler]

[@simoncennals]

It was pretty incredible

[@mikeweeks4669]

Wonderful information and pictures, thanks for sharing.

[@simoncennals]

Thanks for watching Mike!

Wow. What a beauty. Amazing. This must be Friday night. I was out waiting all Saturday night. Didn't see a thing in Vancouver.

[@simoncennals]

It was Friday night into Saturday morning. Was a great show! Will.be more soon I'm sure.

[@fufupop2012]

That was May 10,2024 and I witnessed the northern lights for the first time here in Wisconsin. So amazing

[@simoncennals]

Certainly was, amazing you got to see them! Was a show for the whole US!

[@dawngore2059]

I was in a hotel room at Heathrow airport that night and due to all the light pollution, didn’t see anything but the faintest glow and nothing worthy of a photograph. Gutted to have missed it. Hoping that over the next 3 weeks whilst still in Alberta and BC, we’ll have another opportunity. Fantastic content again Simon 😊

[@simoncennals]

Keep an eye on the forecast and you never know! Doesn't have to be that strong to see it in parts of Canada.

[@kennethtam9779]

Thanks for the shutter speed tip! I was working early mornings all through that storm so no chance to stay up, but hopefully we’ll get another one in less than 20 years 😅

[@simoncennals]

Fingers crossed we'll get more this year!

[@Rainyyvlogs]

That shot at 7:06 is beautiful! I wish we could see something like this. May I know the date when this shot was taken?

[@simoncennals]

It was May 10th/11th but the date doesn't really matter when it comes to aurora it can be very random!

[@Rainyyvlogs]

@@simoncennals Got it! Thanks for the quick reply :)
