Markus Eriksson is used to photographing northern lights, and says there will be 5-6 pieces each winter. But yesterday's Northern Lights, which he captured in a picture at the tramway in Lycksele, he still thought was something extra.

- It was special. There were so many different northern lights in one. First it was a little streaky and then it contracted. And so just before I went home, it became such a really beautiful northern light, he says, adding:

- That was really it.

The northern lights could also be seen in Umeå. Filip Brändström Nyström saw it from the campus meadows at Umeå University.

Nordmaling also had to take advantage of the northern lights.

- One of the better northern lights I've seen, says photographer Ronny Berggren.
