It begins like a song. Soft pale colours like single notes on a piano echoing across the wide expanse of darkness. And then a burst of colours, the melody explodes. Bass, treble, sharp and flats higher and higher, layer upon layer twisting and twirling for their audience of stars. The harmony of pinks and blues, purples and greens, ebb and flow, rise and drop like an orchestra whose director is th...

The icy wind lashed at my face like a hundred tiny blades as I climbed the final few paces up the mountain.

The snow crumpled under my feet as I reached the crest. In that moment my lungs emptied with a sharp gasp.

It was beautiful, the neon green and deep blue creating waves across the sky. I was instantly lost in the forbidden ocean above me and almost fell off the cliff in front of me in my h...

Walking around in the night in the dark

Looking down at the ground

Going through a forest of pine and snow

Moving slow as the hill rise higher

Coming up to a clearing

Feeling slow

Feeling cold

Seeing your breath

Wanting to go back to the cabin and sit by the fire

Loosing feeling in limbs but you keep pushing

Keep moving

And then you just stop

Right in the middle

Snow knee high

Fingers frozen...

I was thankful for the fire. The cold had gone deep under my skin, no matter how much I bundled up. I heard the crunching of snow around me as other spectators got ready for the big event. The snowy landscape around the light-brown wooden buildings was spotted with the orange of firelight — enough for people to see, but sparse enough to keep the sky as dark as possible.

The crunching of footsteps...

When we saw it, it took our breaths away. It being the phenomenon that is the Northern Lights. In the cold, crispy night we observed the the clumsy clouds cluttering the skyline. We waiting in anticipation. We rubbed our hands together to keep warm and waited patiently for the spectacle.

The clouds cleared and as almost like and impact of an atomic bomb, a ring of lights puffed towards us. Like ...

The chilling grass cools my back,

sending a wave of shivers up my spine.

My fingers spread open to grasp, a chunk of the green, musky earth hairs.

I stare up at the colours, violet, blue, and green, whisking in the sky. My cheeks tug the corners of my mouth up, ever so slightly…While soft chuckles brush past my lips, with glee....

Beautiful, exhilarating, audacious lights. I feel so plain next to them. They wink and twinkle across the sky, flashing blue, green and purple. So simple, so complex. Way up in the atmosphere the colors gleam with liveliness. I look up at the one I love and wonder how he chose me. He is angelic in the lights, and I wonder how to him I could be seen. I know the answer. He is better than all of us. ...

Ethereal lights of unbelievable beauty, where colours fuse to paint the dark sky in metallic hues of green, purple and pink. Like a dream I never want to wake up from, I marvel at this celestial ceiling that feels from another world. I’m humbled. Incredibly moved. Tears fill my eyes; that only happens whenever I’m in the presence of unexplainable grace. It’s as if I’m not on Earth anymore, but som...

Curtains of colours cover the sky. Splashes of purple and blue. The colours form together and create clouds of green. A sight I’ve only ever seen in pictures....

Striated green glow

Streaming from night sky centre

Shimmering curtain....
