Mesmerizing, breath-taking and surreal are some of the words that come to mind to describe the show that the universe put on that many I’m sure slept through, as I would have, had I not had to let Riley and Buddy out to do “their business”. Thanks guys! Immediately, I shook myself out of my sleepiness just after midnight on May 28^th, 2017 to capture only a fraction of the splendor I experienced.

The sky was ablaze with light…streaks of green, blue, yellow and purple danced above me. In what seemed like minutes continued for over three hours as my artistic mind battled to stay focused on capturing this ballet with the awe I was experiencing personally. As the clouds rolled in like the final curtain of a Broadway play, they only added to the show…the final and perfect encore. The cumulus clouds only served to enhance the drama of purple light along with a wave that seemed to cleave the sky in two.

In the cool crisp air of a glorious early Manitoba morning, I was witness to a truly magical display that I will never forget. Aurora graced the sky with her beauty and painted the canvass that is my camera lens with scenes that I am sure will transport you in your mind to witness that magnificent performance with me.
