Last night, we went for a drive through the countryside, aiming for Portsoy and Banff. We were driving through a lovely section of road, complete with burning autumnal trees, when suddenly, the Aurora Borealis hit the skies (also known as the Northern Lights). I had never seen this before and it was spectacular - at one point it seemed like a giant luminous hand reaching down from the heavens, always shifting like the skin was see-through as if filled with luminescent blood... anyway, it was stunning and awe-inspiring. So we drove to Portsoy, the beautiful little harbour village from Summer (See an earlier thread), and walked along the harbour walls, and the water was so tumultuously smooth and powerful, and disoriented me by looking as if it was right there in front of me. And the stars, oh the stars! I saw the Milky Way streaking overhead, all the constellations crystal clear, plus a background of countless other stars, hazy in their historic ancientness. It was fantastic, even if it was very cold. That was A Beautiful Evening. |

What do you mean, what happened to that girl? Tolstoy - it's not that remote - only 40 - 60 miles north of Aberdeen. The coastal villages are very nice in that area. |

Yes, it was very nice. I never thought I'd get to see them! And to share it all with a beautiful, loving female enhanced it greatly. |

I have never seen one of those in real life. I am jealous paulie. How often do these occur? Is there a way to find out when they will? like any sort of cycle? |

hah - no it wasn't, Pete! I thought it might because of barometer readings, but it's been clear and sunny! Kaleb - I've never seen the Northern Lights before, so I have no idea how often they occur :) |
