     <\/div> \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>And then came the lights.  I got an alert around 8:30 p.m. and went outside.  Another of the artists here texted the group that the aurora was faint, but should pick up within a half-hour or so.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all wound up on a hill about 100 yards above town watching until the aurora petered out and we went back inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At around 10:00, I got another alert and went back out.  It was a bit cold, but incredibly windy.  I wondered back up to where I&#8217;d seen the lights earlier, but couldn&#8217;t see anything.  I was on the way back when I looked up and saw a bright ribbon across the sky.  I went to the big field across from the house where I&#8217;m staying and watched for about 45 minutes as the green light moved and danced over my head.  The wind threatened to blow me over and I thought about going inside, but I waited until the ribbon faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then at 11:30, there was another text about an even bigger show of lights.  I went back out again and could instantly see the bright green band right outside.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I managed to get a pretty good video (aurora videos are much harder to get than still photos because usually you can get your camera to hold the lens open longer to get a good still, but the video just records what the naked eye can see) and there was a decent display that only lasted about ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231121_234806.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, this was the best and most intense aurora experience I&#8217;ve had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never seen the aurora in person, it is many, many, many times better than seeing photos or videos.  We&#8217;re in a peak aurora year (the aurora goes in 11-year cycles) and it&#8217;s been visible far further south than most years.  So&#8230; get out there if you can.  As good as you think it is, the experience of seeing full-on Northern Lights in person is even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview ngg-slideshow\"\n\t
