Hopefully I don't break the rules for posting in this forum. My intention is to increase the "traffic" taking place in here, since it has been quite low for some time now.

Fantastic!

Thank you.

I've never seen the phenomenon; I hope someday I will since I am always fascinated by it, and your photos are great.

Glad you like them. The photos are nothing like watching the Auroras with your own eyes. They are amazing sometimes.

Two of us slept out in a cutover wheat field in northeastern Montana once when the Auroras were in full bloom, 20 miles from the nearest light bulb. It took two hours to get to sleep...
