Re: Mother natures light show
I used to live in northern Alberta. We used to get them quite often, especially when it got cold. One show in particular I will always remember. As I was coming back from walking the dog I noticed the northern lights. They were all the colours you could imagine. Reds, greens, blues. I called the wife to come and look at them.
We stood out in the driveway for about 20min as they moved around us. They did a complete circle around where we happened to be standing. The air was so cold and clear I could swear that they were making noises. Kind of like a cristal and ice crackling sound at the same time. It was awesome to just stand there and watch and listen.
After about 20min and watching them make a circle they started to fade. I think I will always remember that show.
I've also seen huge lightning storms in Alberta that last for hours, but for sheer beauty, I don't think anything can beat the northern lights.
Lightning storms to me are great too but its almost like mother nature is showing off her power with lightning and thunder while northern lights seem to be about mystical beauty. If that makes sense to anybody.
