BAM! I caught this without a lightning trigger – just a little luck, given the frequency of the bolts.

15 November 2025: Stunning aurora in Iceland

The big geostorm had passed when I tried to capture aurora on November 14 in Hofn, Iceland. I saw a hint of green on my Nikon, but it wasn't until I put together the time-lapse that I realized it was active with greens and pinks in the far northern distance (lower right). The Milky Way and all the stars were a lovely bonus. ©2025 by Chris Kridler, ChrisKridler.com. Music licensed from Pond5.

I caught one of the last night-blooming cereus gloriously unfolding its petals in this time-lapse on Florida's Space Coast. Almost every year, I try to capture a time-lapse of these magnificent flowers. Each giant blossom of these cactus vines blooms for just one night. Video (c) 2025 by Chris Kridler, ChrisKridler.com.
