I so want to capture the same thing for myself.

Great shot...Would like to see the lights again one day..

Better than my attempts.

These taken in Iceland in 2011.

These taken in Greenland in 2008. Strange experience, you keep expecting to hear some sort of noise, perhaps through conditioning by association with lightning, but totally silent and lots of different colours which the camera doesn't really pick up.
