The night sky is on fire.

The northern lights have made an appearance and done so in force. I've seen them the odd once in a while; a faint shimmering in the skay, but never like this.

The sky is literaly glowing.

The sky is filled with a series of almost neon-green bursts of light. They flash and waver and stutter like a flourescent bulb and I'm almost clapping my hands with joy.

I've never seen a display like this in my life, and I'm a lot older than you might think. Some of my neighbours are out, heads craned skyward; a display like this is obviously a rare event. The son of my next-door neighbour is literally in shock. He's five, and has no idea what he's seeing. He seems to be stuck between fear and joy.

I think joy is winning.

Daisy doesn't seem to get what the excitement is all about; she looked at the sky for a bit, scratched her ear for a few seconds and went back inside.

Sometimes there's just no pleasing her.

And wouldn't you know it, my camera's battery is dead.

Damned camera...
