I was distressed to find out that a rare sighting of aurora borealis, or the Northern Lights, occurred last night, and I missed them! 
What is even more unusual is that the lights were red, an end-of-the-spectrum colour which is very rare. 
Northern Lights are mainly from the other end of the light spectrum and are green and blue.
I’ve only seen the lights once. I was in Scotland and it was incredibly cold and very dark. 
A friend and I were out walking her dog late at night and we saw them. Funnily, when I think about seeing them, my memory includes some shimmery music, even though I know there was none.
None of these pictures are mine. I didn’t have the presence of mind to take a camera on a dog walk in the middle of the night in Scotland!
OMG these are awesome. Born and reared in Florida. Now U know y OMG these are awesome.
ReplyDeleteHow could you miss it, I would be gutted too! This is quite high on my bucket list, to see the northern lights, maybe next year!

Beautiful - I've never seen them, it's on my bucket list. Funny about that music of yours - in my memory of the exceptionally spectacular Perseid meteor shower about 10 years ago, I hear them fizzing and sizzling as they cross the sky, though I'm sure they didn't really.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to congratulate for the Blog on Fire Award from Yonks....:)
ReplyDeleteI lived in northern Ontario, Canada for almost 10 years and the northern lights were a regular occurrence. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteMusic? Of course there was!
