I was having problems sleeping one night, so I got up to read a bit and was notified on my aurora app that there was strong aurora activity in my area. Glancing out our picture window I could clearly see the tell tale red, orange and yellow colors streaking the northern sky, so I thought - why not. Wondering all the while if the light show would be over by the time I got there, I threw on some sweat clothes and slipped on my muck boots and headed to a location where I always wanted to capture a bright aurora. It turned out I wasn’t too late, but just in time.
