Now it's snowing like mad and 14 F. Just the other day it was 55 and sunny! Where did spring go?

With advice from a friend of mine I used 200 speed film, 30 second shutter speed, and 3.5 aperature. I drove to a hill top outside town (too many trees around my house, which is in a low lying swamp area) and set my dinky tripod on the hood of my car. I have a bunch more that are even better. The moon was out and I got it in several pictures with the lights. My favorite is of the lights of Fairbanks with the aurora above it, but I don't have that one on CD.

That is pretty awesome! We get pretty colors in the skies after a missle launch at Vandenburg, but nothing that looks like that.
I lived there as a kid. I remember having to come in from recess one day when a missle made nice lights in the sky after it blew up. First thing my dad said when he came home was, "It wasn't my part of the missle that malfunctioned!"

That's a really cool pic. I am using digital and still can't get stuff like that done...
Hopefully, if I upgrade to a new camera, I will be able to take stuff like that.
Hope you weren't being followed by polar bears.....or do they have them in your neck of the woods?
13:1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
13:2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

No, Polar bears are marine mammals. They eat seals and stuff. Fairbanks is too far from the ocean.

Since you all seem to like the picture so much, here are a couple more. I haven't figured out how to make the moon not so bright, it was less than a quarter when I took the shot.

Very nice! I hope you don't mind if I use the moon one as a desktop background... it really is beautiful!
Have at!

Great Pictures Mora. I wish I could move up there...will you marry me? Then I can leave my city loving wife and move to the middle of nowhere and play with my pet polar bear and watch the Northern Lights every night (well, I guess that far north it could be the middle of day and still see them :D )
