Holiday Lights

pretty....

I agree, it's kind of mesmirizing to stand under it - like something out of Walt Disney.

i always (and do not know why) think of the northern lights when ever i see these kind of lights...might be because they mesmerise me (the northern lights) regardless! i agree whole Heartily they are mesmerizing..

I would love to see the Northern Lights. Can you see them from where you live? I'd have to travel to Alaska.

nope not from here!!! lovely Alaska!!!

I would love to spend a week up there Ice fishing and seeing the glaciers.

me too...it would be wonderful...i remember a program with joanna lumley spending time there i thought then i would love to do that...but they (the lights) do not always appear...but ice land so cool any way..

I know it's a phenomena related to solar winds that fluoresce when it interacts with the earth's magnetic field.

not sure of the science behind it! but as you do, the shared information i appreciate, thank you... i liked the fictional explanation about the northern lights in The Amber Spyglass....

I haven't heard about the Spyglass.

very good read!!!

Really? I need a good read to get me through my commute to work on the train. I'll check it out.

there are three books in all you need the Northern Lights first...

His Dark Materials is a trilogy of fantasy novels, coming together to form an epic, by Philip Pullman comprising Northern Lights (1995, published as The Golden Compass in North America), The Subtle Knife (1997), and The Amber Spyglass (2000). It follows the coming-of-age of two children, Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, as they wander through a series of parallel universes against a backdrop of epic events. The three novels have won various awards, most notably the 2001 Whitbread Book of the Year prize, won by The Amber Spyglass. Northern Lights won the Carnegie Medal for children's fiction in the UK in 1995. The trilogy as a whole took third place in the BBC's Big Read poll in 2003.
