The Northern Lights
Suddenly the lights fell from the heavens and opened and closed like theatre curtains, disappearing in one place in the sky and returning to another and we cheered and whooped like children as we were treated to one of nature’s great displays.
The sky was vibrant and alive producing a spectacular heavenly dance show – a twirling tarantella, a frantic flamenco, a crazy can-can and more twists than Chubby Checker!
A mysterious, multicoloured magic show in which the night sky was suddenly illuminated with a wondrous glow, the luminous green of a highlighter pen that swayed and swirled like a heavenly lava lamp and then created a pattern that looked like Darcey Bussell pirouetting across the stage .

I sure do like your writing style!
Aren’t those Northern lights phenomenal? I’d like to see them one more time before I’m done with travelling.

I recall the first time I saw them. I must have been eight. I was mesmerized. I didn’t even need to take a trip anywhere. I saw them from my house. 🙂

Never seen them… despite several trips at the right time and supposedly the right place – I’m jealous!!

We were so lucky on this trip. The last night and we had given up hope!

Andrew I remember following along this series and being so happy that you got to see the amazing lights in the end. It would have been such a disappointment to miss the wonder of it all.
