Molly and I are camped out on a remote Lake Superior wilderness shoreline … about 20 miles by water from Whitefish Point and 18 miles by a small dirt road to the nearest pavement. The Northern Lights were not forecast to shine last night, but Lady Aurora decided she wanted to dance in honor of our 10th season serving as Crisp Point Lighthouse Keepers. This gig does not come with a keeper’s residence. Our home is a 3 person pup pitched 20 yards from the big lake.
At 10:00 pm while getting ready to hunker down into my sleeping bag, I decided to take a quick peek through the tent’s window out over the lake … green glow! I put on my warm clothes to keep me warm against the 23 mph winds and 50F temperature and ventured forth into the night. By 10:30 pm (sunset was at 8:00 pm) Lady Aurora decided to dance … a sub storm!!! Here was her performance.
10 Minutes before Sunset … the same night (perspective … west of lighthouse)
10 Minutes after Sunset … the same night (perspective … east of lighthouse)
