Northern Lights Timelapse Video Over Alberta Rockies Will Take Your Breath Away

Northern Lights - Feb 19 & 20, 2014 from Richard Gottardo on Vimeo

It's one of the most beautiful captures of the northern lights over Alberta's Rocky Mountains we've ever seen.

Shot overnight on February 19 and using more than 3,500 photos, according to the description, the video highlights the majestic and ever-changing beauty of the aurora borealis.

The video was uploaded to Vimeo by Calgary photographer Richard Gottardo, who along with Andras Shram, founded Experience Aurora – a company that offers photography and sightseeing tours of the Northern Lights.

Gottardo clearly has a gift for capturing these amazing images – he posted a similar video back in November, which is equally mesmerizing.
