November 3rd aurora photos!

Post by BeaverIslandPete »

After staying up late on Halloween Eve only to find the aurora forecast for that night was a bust, my wife and I tried again when a new solar flare meant a possibility of lights on the night of November 3rd. It was amazing! She's shared some of these photos on Facebook but I wanted to post some here for the people who frequent the forum.

The dark skies here are a treasure. We feel privileged to share this beautiful island with so many nice folks. We look forward to continuing to meet new people in the coming years.

It was chilly and hard to stand still for the minute it took to capture this shot!
