Northern nights

The northern lights are super active this of year, or probably just easier to see. This pic (not my own) was taken Feb 18th at Chena Lakes Recreational Area in North Pole. Our first apartment was literally a mile from this spot. We could see the lights very often in North Pole. Living in Fairbanks, the bright city lights obscure most of the time. I saw them a few weeks ago, right outside our door! Amazing!!

The best northern lights that I ever saw has to be a tie between seeing them move & dance many, many nights in Glennallen and seeing them in Salcha in the clearing by Jon's parents old homestead. The northern lights are by far the BEST thing about winter!!
