Seeking photon light emissions, the result of molecular collisions, in just the right atmospheric conditions, I traverse the wilderness that is Northern Alaska in the cold-dead-calm, of the waxing crescent moon, this starless February night.
Where mesmerized by oxygen induced phosphorescent colors of near mystical proportion- I shout a challenge to the Universe- “Inject me with such vibrancy of color- or release me from this life- I live in only black and white.”
I draw a line through
Aurora Borealis
Quivering black ink.

A sight I would love to see. 🙂

I’m leaving tomorrow. Can’t wait. I hope to be inspired by the majesty to come up with something more deserving after I have actually witnessed it.

I wish you a week of solar flares. As I understand it, they’re needed to create the lights! Good luch. Enjoy. And stay warm.

Well I planned my trip around the moon phase, the only element that can be accurately predicted a few months out. I’m traveling to the Arctic Circle to be at the furthest point north, and hoping that mother nature will reward all my pre planning efforts…. despite the call for low activity in Fairbanks proper. 😦

As I said, I wish you well. You’d better return with fancy photos to show!

Only camera I have is my phone. Not adequate but I’ll try. I’m hoping to go dog sledding tho and I’m sure I can get pix of that.

This is one of those trips I have waited my whole life time to take. I’ll share as much of it as I can poetically when I get back.
