Meet Patrick Bly. He's the man responsible for these amazing photos of the Northern Lights in the Adirondacks.

I couldn’t believe my eyes.. I knew what I was watching before I even took my camera out. After snapping a couple shots and watching a huge meteor I ran back up to my dad’s place and woke him in the most lunatic fashion ever. After a slight panic thinking I had just burned my house down he threw his boots on and came down the road with me to watch the show.

Patrick tells us it was very important to check out the lights with his Dad.

After I got him I set up my tripod to take a bunch of exposures and we sat on the bed of my truck to watch the show. He had seen them before but not for many many years.. it sparked tons of old stories and so much appreciation for the moment
