Northern Saskatchewan 2013 - Sunsets and more





The sunsets are often very beautiful.
If you go outside on a clear night the sky is so full of brilliant stars that it takes your breath away.
I have occasionally gone out at night, especially in the autumn, and seen the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) dancing in the sky.  Another very amazing sight.
If you top all that off with the hooting of a great horned owl or a great grey owl and the howling of wolves, it makes you shiver with the wonder of it all.

 **********************************
Oh, it was wild and weird and wan, and ever in camp o' nights
We would watch and watch the silver dance of the mystic Northern Lights.
And soft they danced from the Polar sky and swept in primrose haze;
And swift they pranced with their silver feet, and pierced with a blinding blaze.
They danced a cotillion in the sky; they were rose and silver shod;
It was not good for the eyes of man--'twas a sight for the eyes of God.
- From "The Ballad Of The Northern Lights" by Robert Service
