Northern Lights are purty

[tikistitch]

So, after waiting for the entire 15 day vacation for a rare combination of aurora activity and clear skies, on the final night of our stay here in Bettles, at 66 degrees north, nature decided to give us a little light show. We chose to watch from the lodge, though Mr. Tiki gathered his 75 lbs of camera equipment and charged out to the local airport landing strip, where he snapped some photos.

That is... absolutely breathtaking! I really need to get my butt in gear, go up north, and see them myself. (I mean, what point is there to living in the land of the midnight sun and other such purdy things if I don't actually ever see them? lol)
Hope you guys have had a nice trip! <3

Ya know the weird bit? They actually look better in a photo. No kidding.
