The Northern Lights over Anchorage Alaska

The Northern Lights over Anchorage Alaska 9/3/16 – 2:28 am

On this particular night Darlene and I were driving back toward Wasilla through Anchorage when I decided that I wanted to drive up to the Glen Alps to see if we could see the aurora over the city. Darlene wasn’t feeling so well but agreed that it would be fun. I was driving and Darlene wasn’t paying much attention to where I was driving so I ended up driving to the end of a road that I never intended to drive to. Whatever the road, it had a trailhead and a turnaround, so I turned around, which oriented my windshield directly north toward the lights of Anchorage so I pulled to the side of the road to take some photos. This is the result.

I may have got turned around but I ended up with some pretty cool photos. It’s not often that I’ve seen a nnive aurora over city lights.
