Absolutely beautiful!! I've seen them 2 times, the first time was either Manitoba or Saskatchewan, the 2nd was in northern Ontario. I would love to see them again. Beautiful, thank you Celia.
Awesome! Thank you. The one comment caught my attention because we experienced it. The first time we saw the Northern Lights we did not realize what we were seeing either!
So, for the Israelites to have seen the aurora so far down in latitude means there would have been one heck of a coronal ejection from the sun. I saw it a few times over the past fifty years when sun activity brought it farther south than usual below the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario. The last time I saw the aurora was here in Toronto thirty something years ago, spring I think, when the government was doing atmospheric tests with, I think, barium salts, which turned the sky into swirling waves of garnet red. It was a man-made event. Our whole neighbourhood was out pointing and awe-ing at the sky. But to me it felt kind of ominous that the government would do that. In the fifties we lived in Fort William at the top of Lake Superior for several years. As a very little kid I saw the green and purple aurora borealis every winter. I thought everyone in the world saw it too.

I lived for a few years in Inuvik (NWT). Loved them!
Beautiful 😍😍 thank you !!
I just love that quote from Transtromer. I can't get it out of my head.
That makes me very happy. If you pursue reading his work, I suggest the translations by Robin Fulton.
The older I get, the more I understand Tomas Tranströmer in the context of the Northern Lights
Ah! My work is done then! :)

Thank you for that delightful treat. You made my day.

Magical!
I watched the video before going to bed. Best night of sleep I’ve gotten in a long time.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you Celia.
