The Northern Lights recently paid a visit to the Okanagan Valley. I was surprised to see such bright and colourful lights this far south but the sun is coming to the end of an 11-year cycle where huge solar storms are bombarding the Earth with extreme amounts of energy that is manifesting as unusually strong, brilliant and swirling Northern Lights.

My last picture of the Aurora was taken in the Northwest Territories where they are frequently and stunningly visible, but these pink lights were a lovely southern gift.
Who needs fireworks when we have these?
Happy Wednesday.
