Northern Lights & Christmas Choir Concert

Last night's Christmas Choir Concert: very nice!




It was driving home after the concert that presented a very pleasant surprise! Through the brightly lit sky above the city lights of Grand Rapids, is that Aurora Borealis? The Northern Lights?



Sure enough. I shot out to Lake Michigan, and by the time I was ready, they were mostly finished. This image is the best I could capture.

It is rare to see the Northern Lights this far south. Ironically, for all the times I have been in the Upper Peninsula, I have never witnessed the Auroras there. The three times seeing the Northern Lights were twice here in Grand Rapids, and once in Chicago.
