We all have bucket lists, don't we? Things we want to do before we die and if we're lucky, we'll get to tick all of them off. Well, I've just checked off the #1 item on my bucket list: seeing the Northern Lights, nature's most fascinating phenomenon. I thought I'd have to travel to Iceland or northern Norway to catch a glimpse — little did I know the opportunity would present itself on October 10, nearing midnight, while visiting my brother in Yorkshire, U.K.
I've been a lifelong photography enthusiast but I live by a simple mantra: the best camera is the one in your hands when something important happens. And that was the case with seeing the Aurora Borealis too. Armed with my trusty Google Pixel 7 Pro beside my brother with his iPhone 15 Pro Max, we filled up our galleries with hundreds of photos that we can fondly look back on.
