just got done watching Northern Lights..

yep, they're @ it again..
anyone know if there were more solar flares that caused them?
they're not as big as the last time everyone was watching, but they surround the sky, 360º completely..
here they're showing up as large pillars that are a pale bluish-green color, then they'll suddenly flare up to yellow-red.. the whole pillar!
it's cool.. photographers might like to get down on this.

i wanna see them so bad.id love to try to cath them on film . i bet its kinda relaxing to watch

Raggie, i'd even go so far to say it's "liberating" watching them..
it really puts you @ peace with everything and works your wonder of the cosmos.

and Stefan, thank you, that's just what i was looking for. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

guess i wont be watching the Northern Lights with THIS weather advisory.
