A couple of days ago i was taking a walk through the woods. Just an ordinary walk, nothing special really. Thinking about random stuff like some equipment that needs replacing and such.

Then, when i arrived at an open place, i suddenly saw a cloudlike structure in the sky that seemed to be glowing. And i thought:"damn, that thing looks just like northern lights". Though it was just a singular tuft of fluorescent green. But then it slowly started to spread into a line and it more and more started to look like actual northern lights.
And at some point it became kinda clear to me that it absolutely was aurora borealis.
I'd never seen it this bright before.

I wanted to call some people to tell them to go outside right now because this really was a spectacle, but unfortunately i didn't have my phone with me.
So i must have stood there for a good twenty minutes before it gradually faded.

There's no moral to this story really, except maybe a reminder to spent more time outside. Because sometimes mother nature might just give you a little treat, and it's wonderfull when she does that. :love::love::love::love::love::love:
 
First time I saw them in my adult life was by surprise too. Was with a couple friends, camping off-grid on the south shore of Lake Superior. Someone hiking past us asked something about the northern lights, but I didn't think much of it until we happened to look up at 1am. With the lake to our north we had a perfect view. A couple photographers even showed up, and we were far off the trail. The lights were on all three nights we were at that beach. Was really special.
