After hearing the news of the recent Solar flare, I've been watching the Aurora forecast. It seemed that tonight would be a good night to be able to see the lights. After much patience and fighting off sleep, we were greatly rewarded! We went about eleven miles "out the road" and got quite a show. It was pretty quiet, at first, then it happened. The streaks in the sky started to change colors and really dance across the sky. Unfortunately, I am not camera savvy enough, nor do I have the fancy equipment to capture the lights the way they really look. However, I am pretty happy with the way these came out. The way they photographed is very different from how they look in person. In person, they appeared white and vertically striated. It was surprising to see how the pictures came out. In videos that I have seen, the lights appear to dance across the sky but I always assumed that that was time lapse video. Not always the case. They DO dance! The way they move is impossible to describe, so I'm not even going to try. I've never seen anything like it. Ever. This is truly one of God's gifts to us and I wish that you all could experience it in person! Enjoy!
