I've never had the pleasure to see the Northern Lights, but photos of them intrigue me ....
We're not long past the story of the Star of Bethlehem, so I thought the Northern Lights, with the challenge of darks and contrasts, wet in wet and flecks of white for stars would be a good challenge. It was!
I posted a cropped version, which I think is a bit more dramatic ....but am uncertain which I prefer.
The sun didn't show itself much yesterday, but it warmed up sufficiently to plant five chestnut trees. I hope we're still around by the time those wee things bear fruit!

You'll meet ANY challenge, won't you Lin? Stunning...No other words. I like them both, too. I saw some as a small child in Connecticut, but never, again, and these were lovely and soft and subtle, not dramatic at all. Maybe one needs to be farther North for the drama

I too have always been intrigued and wish I could see the Northern lights for real. Thank you for the beautiful substitute!!
