Aurora Highlights by Todd Salat

Have you ever seen the aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights? I've had the good fortune of seeing them twice, once in Minot, North Dakota in the early 70's and in 2012 from the plane as I was flying out of Fairbanks, Alaska.

This video is an incredible and moving capture of the spectacular light display that occurred in March of 2013, filmed and narrated by Todd Salat.  I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

 

What are Northern Lights?

My visit to Alaska 2012--begin with the oldest post to see these posts in sequence or just enjoy the images as they appear.  It is a work in progress.  I have many more stories and photos to post on this amazing trip.

For the Love of It...

...the sage sees heaven reflected in Nature as in a mirror, and he pursues this Art, not for the sake of gold or silver, but for the love of the knowledge which it reveals.
Sendivogius (1750)

Your Uncapped Creativity...

Your Uncapped Creativity...
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action; and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep that channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is, nor how valuable. Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly." ----the great dancer, Martha Graham
