Last nite was one of those once in a lifetime ( ok…maybe more than once) events…down here in mid America, the Northern Lights paid us a visit…

Drove a few miles NW of town to complete darkness in the middle of Central Wyoming, and enjoyed a magnificent light show…writhing, twisting sheets of electrons…multicolor displays…wave upon wave of curtains of glowing particles….simply incredible beauty…

Did a few googles when I got back home and thought I’d share more with you…
