Description
Found my way to the granite of the Slave to celebrate the transition back to dark skies. Not fully celebrating the temperature drop, of course 
Might post a few more from this night. I managed to get some HD video of the auroral effects of the most recent solar material ejection, but the video disappeared. I would describe the peak activity of this solar storm as frightening.
I've been awed viewing aurora for a long time as many have, but I've never been...afraid until this night. There was activity overhead that was so intense and bright and so fast that I wondered for a moment whether the particle streams were about to tear the sky to pieces. I think that's very unlikely, but the power of what was happening above me coaxed out some primal fear...Just when you think you've seen it all.

Another gorgeous one that kickstarts my imagination... and before you ask me; yes, I'm still sober 
When I looked at this one it reminded me of oil. It really leaves behind the impression of a thick, sticky substance with that lovely 'oily shine' on it. Its beautiful, even more so because it is (thankfully) not an actual oil spill.
