"I observed a fairly remarkable
display of Aurora Borealis on this night. I learned of it from reports
on the Internet and quickly ran out to see while yelling for mom to do
the same. Streamers of deep red were visible for a while but a ghostly
green glow hugged the northern horizon throughout most of the night. It
did not equal the 1991 display but was good none the less. I took a few
shots and these are the best from that night. "
