Thanks Frank, Ken, Joe, Tim, et al.
I'm very fortunate to live in a place like this. There are many with totally different moods... Coming later.

Those are spectacular, Tom!!
I know the Northern Lights were quite active here in Ontario, as well. I don't know if they were visible in the city, but they apparently were not too far north of here.
One of the sad realities of city living is that (since there's rarely anything to see from our vantage point) we rarely spend much time looking up at night.
Again, great photos!
cheers, frank
