Had another lovely choir practice this evening. My new student ID card and PIN code for it works--no more waiting around in the cold calling other choir members to be let into the building, we can let ourselves in now!

The best part was the walk home--the Northern Lights were out!!! I haven't had a good view of them in years. And it is a warm evening (hovering right at freezing), so when we got home we grabbed [livejournal.com profile] archinonlive's camera and tripod and went back out, to the lake edge, where the light pollution isn't quite so bad. While the camera is only the ordinary sort of digital camera, not a fancy one, he still managed to get a couple of photos to come out.

Pretty! I have seen them only once in my life, in northern Idaho--through the smokehole of my yurt, which was pretty cool. Just moderate green tinge, though, not moving... I would love to see them full fledged!

I encourage you to come visit some winter or spring! These days one can look on line for aurora predictions, and if it is likely drive somewhere far enough out of town to get a good view. While we haven't done that yet since I arrived, an out of town visitor would be a wonderful excuse to do so...

Would you believe I've finally got time to look at your posts and I can't get these photos!!! The supervisor here tried too, but they just won't load. So sad, as I'm sure they are very beautiful. I am comforted that I saw them recently on TV (from Sweden as co-incidence would have it) and they were truely stunning. Enjoy!

Weird that you couldn't see them.

There is a lovely photo of the same set of lights, but taken in Alaska,on line here, or you can try going directly to his facebook album here.
