Aurora

Sometimes, it's about being in the right place at the right time, and stopping to look UP.

Last night, from 11 PM onwards were the most amazing Northern Lights, ever. Accompanied by some shooting stars.

Intense blues and greens with a hint of pink. Right over my house.
Irony, since the forecast was for zero activity.

Watching the Northern Lights requires more patience than I possess; last night I managed to get it right.

Occuring on April 1st, I'm taking this as a good omen for the month ahead.

If only it hadn't been interrupted by the He-Donkey across the way, with his newest victim. But, alas, nothing is perfect.
