I suggest expanding this to full screen, a wonderful piece of work by an Icelandic photographer, of an awesome phenomenon.
Time Lapsed Aurora Borealis

A potentially spiritual experience, from your friendly godless barbarian ;)

Question authority, before it questions you. How do you know, that you know, what you know?

Thanks, Epi... the clip is stunning enough.
I've never been able to travel much, but I feel if I witnessed this Light Show "in person",
