Drama 16 Stage Lighting

2.  Aurora Borealis, Lapland, Finland.  By Martti Rikkonen

3.  Cold

4.Seeing the northern lights is in the top ten on my bucket list. Such impossibly brilliant color against the deep blue of a winter sky creates such a stunning juxtaposition of color that even photographs of it make my heart ache. This image of the northern lights and full moon above finland on a snowy night is a perfect cold photograph. The moon and stars in a midnight near purple sky cast a frigid  tint across the trees and snow. While such  bright pinks and mints of the aurora might seem an unexpected choice for cold the hue of the pink lives  toward the blue side of the color wheel and  its the green is so heavily tinted white as to lose all of its warmth. These colors, though bright, still feel distant and otherworldly. They are not comforting so much as alien and terrifying in their severity.

4) The Northern Lights are the epitome of coldness. Their mysterious colors radiate throughout the sky during the winter time up in the northern and southern hemispheres, depending on where you are. The luminosity of the Northern lights are majestic. They brilliantly brighten the night sky with their spectacular rays of light.

Not only are the colors of this phenomenon marvelous, the science behind it is intriguing as well. The way they appear in the north at a certain temperature causes the beauty of the Northern Lights.
