Last night's Aurora Borealis

Last night, we had one of the best Northern Lights shows I have ever seen in my life. Stephanie and I, not wanting to miss it despite being worn out from two sick daughters, stayed out until well past 1 am just enjoying the show from out on our dock at Seymour Lake. At that moment, I once again realized just how lucky we are to live here.

We talked about how many people will never get to see the Aurora in real life because of how one has to perfectly time the weather, solar activity, and time of year. It obviously makes it very difficult for anyone who doesn’t live up here in The Greatland to get to time it that perfectly. It was literally a perfect night. Rather than write a long post, though, I have included a few pictures from last nights show. I think that these images can tell the story so much better than I can. None of these images are doctored, it was really this good looking.
