A Beaver BLOW OUT win, and a very rare glimpse (for us) of the Northern Lights! Beautiful and humbling.

Holy cow. The cameras really capture the vivid colors. What a great night.

Flew to PDX from Reno last night after 8 pm and watched a beautiful sunset but no Northern Lights. Probably too much daylight at that hour although I have some nice sunset pics of Mt. Shasta from the plane. Got home around 11 pm in Brooks area and saw the lights that looked like a gray-greenish cloud mainly. You could see it from the northern horizon clear overhead and even past that. Nice but not spectacular colors like a lot of the pics I have seen. Oh well!

Almost all the bright pics in Oregon are long exposures with the camera. If you look at the stars in the background they are really bright and consistent across the sphere. You had to be pretty close to the border with Canada to get those colors with the naked eye. |

 Aurora borealis from Cave Creek, Arizona. Not as impressive as up North. |

You had to be pretty close to the border with Canada to get those colors with the naked eye. I saw them three times while living in Southeast Alaska and one of those times the natives/long-time residents of the region that I talked to the next day said that they had never seen the lights go as crazy as they did the night before. I saw them that night from the rooftop of a fish processing plant on Chichagof Island and it was an amazing show. But I don't think the northern lights ever look as bright as the pictures of them that are produced with high-speed film and a long exposure time. |
