I was about to post about the fabulous time my wife and I had at the HoDo this week, but then my phone rang with the news that our upper atmosphere was flaring up. I grabbed the camera and bolted north of town, and that’s where I snapped this shot, among many others.

The auroras were dancing like crazy, albeit briefly. They were so active that the full moon lighting the sky didn’t even matter! Normally with a full moon I wouldn’t even bother to go hunting for Northern Lights, but tonight the moon had competition. I got plenty of photos but so far this one is my favorite. It’s way too late (early?) to sort through them all.

So if you want to watch for the Northern Lights, you might want to do so in the next few nights. For some aurora watching resources, click on the Northern Lights link on the right hand panel. Enjoy!
