I was awestruck last night by the lights. What a great feeling! I took over 2000 photos. This is about 70 of them looking south and am eager to process more. There was the perfect amount of clouds.

I hiked to an overlook before the aurora exploded, hoping to get it looking south. A moose approached growling & snorting at me for a long time while I was standing their trying to get my shot. I wasn't willing to give up my ground that easy. More on that later, but it paid off!

I hiked about a mile to an overlook Sun night (BTW, I recommend hiking during auroras). These are the first photographs I took that night. The aurora was tall and slender and quickly turned into a wedge of bright light (note how the snow takes on green tones).

The last light of the day hits the peaks, the sky turns from orange to pink to purple, and a small bore tide passes with the tidal change. It was one of the better sunset experiences a person can have. (I slowed the time lapse as the tide switched)
