Well practiced patience

My guests this night had been out the previous two nights already.

Their first night, my previous post, was a long, patient night resulting in ultimately a quiet night of auroral activity. Beautiful still, but definitely quiet.

Their second night, they waited out a thunderstorm for clearing skies to reveal a beautiful display of the northern lights. I enjoyed this night so much from home on a night off, running from window to window watching incredible lightning flashes and rumbles of thunder.

Then finally with me, our night started once again very quietly, to in all honesty, rather poor aurora conditions. But after a few hours and a lot of patience, the aurora danced beautifully overhead showing subtle colour to the naked eye. The wait was so, so worth it - as it always, always is.
