Ah, the aurora... one of the very best things about living in the north!

They damn near killed me once when I was very tiredly driving across central Manitoba to visit my Grandma many years ago. Say what you want about mobiles and texting being distracting whilst driving, I was so transfixed by the northern lights that I nearly went off the road three times before I pulled over, stopped, got out, and watched them for the better part of an hour. They are always absolutely mesmerizing, and on that night they were absolutely stunning.
