Shimmering Sky

















On the night of September 5th we had an unexpected display of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).  When I went to bed that night I looked out my bedroom window and thought "Hmmmm... looks like Northern Lights out there!"  Sure enough, I went outside and looked up and saw the Aurora shimmering in the sky directly over the house.  I went out into the yard and made this picture looking straight up into the sky.  The lights were beautiful, but difficult to photograph because of the waning half-moon.
