When Marja-Terttu Karlsson left her home in Pajala to photograph the northern lights, she didn’t expect to take what will likely be the most breathtaking photo of her lifetime. In fact, she didn’t even realize what she had captured in the moment — only when she went home and uploaded the photos to her computer did she realize what had happened. The northern lights had inexplicably taken the shape of a wolf, looming large over the sky like some kind of powerful celestial being. It’s hard to believe that the image below is for real (after the photo went viral, some people have even contacted Karlsson to criticize her for tampering with the image) but she assures everyone that what you see in the photo is exactly what was captured with her camera. Ultimately, this goes to show you just how incredible Mother Nature can really be.
