After many years of not being in the right place at the right time (including travelling to Tromso,
Norway to be met by a storm they called "The Beast from the East"), I finally got to see the northern lights! I had no idea
a storm was coming our way. I went out for my evening walk, turned the corner towards the open space, and was met by so much color!
