Finally, Aurora





We went to the Menan Buttes with some friends to watch the aurora.

For the first hour or so, we could see a faint green glow, streaked with even fainter stripes of pink and red.

We decided to head home, but about ten minutes after we left the aurora exploded into the curtains of green and pink you see here. We pulled off the highway and, accompanied by a nearby pondful of frogs, oohed and aahed at the display.

Then, as quickly as it appeared, it faded.

Michelle Davidson got these pictures for us. What a wonderful night.
