Aurora
October 01, 2025
Since the spectacular photos of aurora from 2003, I have held a constant, enduring, desire to see the aurora myself.
Finally, in October of 2024, I finally got the chance. I drove out to a darker area near Providence, and found a bridge where many other people had the same idea. Finding a place to park and pull out my camera, I found a lot of other people who had already set up to take pictures from the bridge.
In the past, some people have told me that I would not be able to see the aurora myself. That the aurora was so dim as to be largely invisible to human eyes. I was happy to say that was not the case, and as the night progressed I could see the structure in the lights.
Bucket list item complete. And I hope to complete it again and again.
