Bathroom with a view -March 9, 2011 |
Off my deck, and over the neighbor's house |
Now, I've always heard that the lights can make some sort of a celestial sound, but I believe this to be an unsubstantiated urban legend. I listened very closely last night while the lights were wildly dancing overhead -filling the sky with green and red- but once more I heard nothing. Actually, there was a moment when I got super excited upon hearing an electric, static-ish sound that was eerie yet in my imagination easily attributed to something outer-spacey like the Northern Lights....... However I soon realized it was the sound of approaching truck tires on a nearby road. So no sounds for me, but the lights were very intense, and showed that seldom-seen red lace around the edges just to make me happy. So here are a couple of pictures of one of the most beautiful phenomena in nature we are privileged to see on occasion in Alaska. Take that Ashton Kutcher!
PS and off-topic: stay tuned for my Alaskana gift-giveaway to come in a few days :)
I grew up in Northern Canada and I miss the Northern lights so much. You don't see them here in D.C. I found your blog on Expat Blogs and I hope you'll check out my blog

Hello Amie and welcome! Yes, the lights are beautiful but it takes some doing to catch up with them even up here. I love your banner photo, it is stunning! See you around then!
