Northern Lights

A few nights ago I was on twitter and one of the trending topics was #northernlights I clicked on it because I love seeing them and wanted to know where they were visible. They were visible in my area so I headed outside with my camera, two tv series box sets, my phone, a flashlight, and the dogs. I don't have a tripod so I made my own with the dvds and phone! It worked pretty good. But I'll have to get one sometime.

That's the cropped version. We have a greenhouse in the yard that has christmas lights that turn on at night. I would have gone out to turn them off-- but well, I'm scared of the dark. And bears. So I left them on. Just pretend they're not in the pictures!






 






All in all a good night! I love watching them dance and flicker across the sky! One day I'd love to go waaayyyyy up north and see them there. I hear they're incredible!
