My Desktop Photo 96

Photo by Andrew Stark

Last night youngest son dragged me out of bed at 2AM to see a spectacular show of northern lights. We stood on the upper deck and watched as the quick-dancing, shooting sort of aurora, with large swaths of violet along with the more usual green, covered the whole sky. It was like watching a silent fire works show. We forgot where we were and what time it was and oohed and awed loud enough to wake the neighbor dog who woke the neighbor just in time to see the tail end of the show.

I remember once when I was a teenager, my friends and I lay on the grass of a baseball field on a hot Minnesota summer night, looking up at a sky full of red northern lights. That show and last night’s would be the top two of my life so far.

All this is to explain why I’m posting this photo my son took a few years ago even though it’s not the right shape for a desktop photo and I think I’ve posted it before. If you have complaints, leave them in the comments.

It must have been gorgeous to watch, enough so to make it worth getting up at 2AM!

Amazing! Living in Australia that's a sight I've never seen, but would love to.
