So... last night was pretty intense :)

An absolutely amazing auroral display last night.  It started around 11:30pm Alaska time and just kept building and building.  Most of these pictures were shot between 1am and 5am.  I started out shooting at the house, then at 3am I jumped in the car and headed to Potter Marsh, then drove down Turnagain Arm to the Twenty Mile River and Portage Valley.  What a fun night!  Way too many pictures, but I just can't pick a few favorites.  I hope you can view these on a big screen!

Still no whales to be found.

We spent another long weekend in Seward hoping the whales would finally be up in Resurrection Bay, but once again, there were none to be seen.  Gorgeous weather, but it's getting cold enough at night that we might have to call it a season for the motorhome.  Frozen water pipes are no fun.
