Photography-Life in Alaska-Random Thoughts
Photography highlighting Alaska, the most beautiful place on earth.
We got a little better show early this morning around 12:30 am until 2 am, including a couple of mountain climbers on the saddle leading up to Flattop Mountain at 1 in the morning, evidently playing with a road flare to light the mountain :)
Second night in a row. Aurora forecasts were for a monster show. Hah! This is as good as it got. Outside until 2am, then checking every half-hour until 5 am. Ugh. I'll probably do it again tonight :)
Yet another night of aurora forecasts that said we could have a really big show. We've missed the last couple of big displays because of clouds. We finally had clear skies here in Bear Valley, and when a very bright band of green appeared around 11 pm I thought we might be on to something. You could just tell they were getting another strong show up north around Fairbanks or Delta Junction. There was a nice band of pink at the bottom for a bit, which usually indicates a strong show, but once again, she just never really got going here. Grabbed a couple of shots and finally gave up at 2 am.
It's been awhile since we've seen Denali on the horizon. Nice to have her back.

Sitting in the living room yesterday afternoon listening to tunes when a flock of several hundred Grosbeak's and Pine Siskin's decided to stop in for lunch. It was crazy for awhile, but what fun to watch, plus I think they really liked Jethro Tull.
