An October escape

There was a little lingering cloud over town as we left tonight, but nothing of any real concern. Aurora conditions were very good, and some aurora was already some visible in the sky above us as we drove out, but just a little patience and I felt fairly sure we were going to be spoiled further.

A tiny little lake frozen over caught my eye in the moonlight as we arrived in the countryside tonight, and my heart sung. Signs of winter.

A lot of tonight felt far removed from some of the more chaotic October nights of late. Everything was simple and stress free, and these nights sometimes are really needed too.
