So apparently there was some huge solar flare over the weekend..that was supposed to allow us lil' guys in Utah to see some sweet aurora borealis' (that's fancy talk for Northern Lights). But let me tell you guys, this shiz was a big old disappointment (not really we still had a fun night, but for the sake of drama and such).
A bunch of my friends decided to hike up to the highest hill we could find up Big Cottonwood Canyon, figuring this would give us the best view for the spectacle that was supposed to take place. Guys, even though it's September and still pretty warm, these Utah mountains get prettay dang chilly at night. Like 40°F kinda chilly. And I was most definitely not prepared for these frigid temperatures, and neither were most of my pals. So it was shiver central on that mountain top.
Although this whole adventure turned out to be a big bust, I still got that cool picture up there which I was pretty stoked about. And we did have some pretty good laughs as we usually do together. One day I'll get up to Iceland and see the REAL Northern Lights....
aw! how disappointing! but you did get a pretty picture and i'm sure some great memories. :)
ReplyDeletethat's such a lovely picture!
ReplyDeleteI would say that the trouble was worth this amazing picture! I can never get a proper picture of the night sky. Although, the sky could have been better, but at least you still had fun - and that's all that counts!
