Northern Lights

We really . . . lucked out. Driving home from an event last night it dawned on us that it was not a night fog of sorts that we were driving into, but northern lights! We were so taken by them that we pulled off to the side of the highway, turned off my car and stood up through the sun roof! 


It was our first time seeing them in person and my first time photographing them. I know there are lots of better shots out there, but I was content with this first attempt once I got home to my camera. They had faded quite a bit by the time I had it hand though.

It was quite the talk around our area and we heard that they could be seen throughout Canada down to Tennessee.

When I just got outside and set up my tripod I started hearing an Eastern Screech Owl in the background, perhaps 75 yards away or so. This along with seeing David Sedaris in person shortly before made it truly an eventful day. Hope yours was too.
