Well, I've seen Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) already and from the city which isn't as common as it is out in the country. On Thursday, September 15, we heard a commotion outside on our cul-de-sac and our neighbors were on their front balconies and porches looking up into the sky.
At first, I couldn't see anything. Then I noticed a greenish glow. Soon, there was a ghostly light show in greens and reds against the clouds. The tiny lights at the bottom of one of the photos is from streetlights and house lights.
I only have a small digital camera - Nikon Coolpix 2200 - but here is what I was able to capture from the night time sky.
They're better than any of the shots I've managed to get. Hey- your interview with NPRN sounded GREAT... you have a perfect radio voice. Maybe you should consider podcasting. Thanks for mentioning my blog in that show. The secretary at my school came and got me and said that her husband called her and said we (Tuntutuliak) were mentioned and that it had something to do with one of the teachers. That was really cool. Then that weekend, a man came into Tunt (for a funeral anniversary of one of his former students) from Juneau who works with the AK Department of Ed and dropped by my house to meet me because he heard the show... Anyway, all this is was because of you. So, the main reason I'm writing is to find out when you book will be available. Also, I want to put it's cover on my site with a link if that's OK with you...
Thanks again!
