Thank you! 🙂 My new place is really nice. I can see Landegode, the island you have seen on several of my photo comp pictures, from my bedroom window! 🙂 Right now (at 0:37! ) the sky looks absolutely wonderful, very red at the horizon and with partly reddish clouds a bit higher up. I am very much looking forward to the start of the aurora season, but the view is fantastic all year round.

Approximately from the end of August to the middle of April.
One night when I was a kid - I don't remember how old but less than 12 - my dad called us out to the front stoop to show us what looks like changing lights in the northern sky. He told us it was the Northern Lights, which was the first time I'd ever heard the term. Dad must have read about it in the newspaper, because he was not an educated man, nor would this have been a typical part of his experience.
Obviously, it was nowhere near as spectacular as I'm sure you see every day, but it was pretty fascinating to me as a kid.
Originally posted by RookRAKWell I'm fairly far up north as well and see the northern lights all the time. Doesn't take the beauty and fasinaction away. Even though it's a common occurance it still always makes me stop and watch with awe.
