I’ve always found few benefits to living in a place like the frigid North Country, preferring instead the temperate Hill Country climes I find in Austin, TX.
But this shot of the Northern Lights from Saskatchewan (taken last night) does give you higher-latitude folks something to brag about. It was quite a sight last night, with rare red hues accompanying the usual greens.
Beautiful.
