Northern Lights Over YVR from Tristan Todd on Vimeo.

The northern lights are often visible in the upper corners of B.C. like Prince George — but rarely do the colours make an appearance down south.

So when the aurora borealis do come to town, it's special.

Photographer Tristan Todd, who lives in Richmond, B.C., was on his feet for 17 hours capturing a gorgeous time-lapse of Mother Nature's show, finally wrapping around 2 a.m. Tuesday. (Watch above.)

He wasn't the only one who stayed up late to see the lights — check out more mesmerizing photos from southern B.C.:

Dancing in the Dark 🌌 💜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Another magnetic storm is in town and this time it's all over the news. Dozens of astrophotographers make the trip up to the cove to catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis. This was a strong storm and it did not disappoint. The northern lights danced in the night sky and reflected off the Howe Sound.
