Last night space weather forecasters were calling for a chance of northern lights so some friends and I headed out just before midnight in search of them. We went to High Falls of the Pigeon River in Grand Portage State Park. We figured that with the moonlight it would be ideal conditions for photographing the lights over the waterfall IF the lights came out and were strong enough to be seen over the moonlight. We were hoping for the moonlight to illuminate the falls and the river gorge and for the aurora to illuminate the sky. Unfortunately, we never saw any northern lights. We did, however, see a beautiful moonbow and the Big Dipper was bright and beautiful over the top of the falls. All in all, it was a fun and enjoyable night even though we didn't see the aurora.
