“It’s a great night to go to work!”
I was supposed to be getting my final things together to get out the door, but I was just running and back forth between the east and west windows of my apartment. The aurora was arcing overhead and curtains were dancing.
Walking around the front of my car, I was trying not to kill myself on the skating rink the parking lot had become while also watching the aurora dance overhead. I took a quick video and shot it off to my family chat...
“It’s a great night to go to work!”
Our night that followed was spectacular of course. After a short drive to add a little further separation from incoming cloud, the aurora danced, and danced and danced and danced.
Warm temperatures, little wind, and beautiful moonlight - it was the most exhilarating of nights with the aurora in all of her heavenly splendour.
Auroral activity did come back down the following couple nights, but still we enjoyed beautiful skies and vibrant colours even under the spring full moon. They were the nights that make my heart swell with love for this magical phenomenon that give so much beauty and meaning to life.
