re: aurora borealis
When I first moved to Canada's Yukon Territory (Alaska's next door neighbor) I spent the first weeks living in a cabin which did not yet have a roof. I was sleeping in my sleeping bag, and woke up one night to THE MOST amazing sight I have ever seen.
The aurora borealis were out and brighter than I had ever, or ever since have seen. I climbed up onto the roof beams of the unfinished cabin with my sleeping bag, and crawled back in. I just lay there for an hour or more watching the amazing light show.
The light spears seemed to be dropping so low in the sky, that I feared the sharp points would stab into me. My brain knew better, but it was still a weird feeling.
I'll never forget that night for the rest of my life.
