Northern Lights

Like many people, we were treated to an amazing display of northern lights a week ago. At Fortress Lake, the moon rose and tucked behind the range to our south. It shot amazing moon beams down the lake's valley. That would have been stunning enough for the night, but as it slowly drew down below the ridge, the northern lights began rocking out the northern sky. Purple's and greens lit up the night sky over Fortress Lake in an amazing show. The first shot is of the ridge to our north with the big dipper. The second shot is of Mt Quincy & Fortress.
