So, the northern lights have been going strong this past week, and tonight was forecasted to have a good show. \u00a0When something showed up, Anna and I hiked up to the Buddha stupa up on the hill, and hung out there for a while.<\/p>\n

Of course, the biggest show came on practically\u00a0on top of us<\/em> as we were walking there (zero chance of photographing it) but it was probably the pretties that I’ve seen in the city, lights falling down on top of us.<\/p>\n

A couple of arches went by as we hung up on the hill, and a few photos were taken. \u00a0Here’s an animated gif of one of the passes, not processed otherwise.<\/p>\n
