Bonfires of the Gods

    Aurora Borealis from behind my cabin Very early yesterday morning ...
    It was kind of funny the way I went after this one .. The display suddenly flared up in a rapidly clearing sky just as I was about to hit the sack, so many of the shots I got were taken in various sates of undress ... At first just in my long underwear, then .. I'd click the shutter release and run indoors to grab another article of clothing, click again , and run in to exchange slippers for boots, etc, etc.
    I was trying to make it down the trail to the river, but my cheap Chinese knockoff batteries kept dying in the cold..I spent a couple hours ,maybe, like this and before I was ready for the hike to the better viewpoint with a film camera ( after all my canon batteries expired) the lights were expiring..
    All in all, a very wonderful night ..
    More from this show later .. The lights are picking up again now and I must go out and worship the sky once more ...
