Yahoo!

Well, finally!

We stayed awake last night and went to see the aurora at 10:30.  We were a bit early, but about 11:30 or so, suddenly out of the clear blue a beautiful green aurora showed up, spread across the entire sky.  Unfortunately, Don's camera was not set properly at first, so his pictures were not as good as we had hoped.

We moved to a darker spot, and sure enough, another aurora showed up rather quickly.  Then we noticed that above us, there were what looked like small ghosts, appearing and instantly disappearing.  Don took pictures of those, too.  They were bright white to the naked eye . . . but Don's pictures showed the green shades.  Amazing how camera technology works!

Pictures will be posted from Don's camera when we get home . . . until then!
