NORTHERN LIGHTS

Thursday night here was exciting. If you were on the east coast, then you had a very good view for the show. A severe geomagnetic storm led to the Northern Lights being visible above much of Pennsylvania, and much of the US from Texas up through the south to the Northeast. Around 10:15 I grabbed the good camera and got some very pretty shots, from the back garden and in the park. This is one of those moments I talk about that are just magical if you take the time to enjoy them.


Boy, when you see things like this, it almost doesn't look real. 
The universe and nature are amazing.

    1. That might explain the feeling of the sense of being violated while I sleep alone.

  11. Truly spectacular. Our family in Northern Norway sees this every winter. I saw it from a plane once when flowing out of the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve never seen anything like this. Thanks for sharing the beauty.
