Caribou Lake Aurora 001

Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day Weekend. The weather has been awesome on the North Shore and we even had some nice aurora displays. I drove up to Caribou Lake early Saturday morning (Like a few minutes after Midnight) and there was a beautiful green glow on the horizon reflected over the calm surface of Caribou Lake. It was so clear that the stars were exceptionally bright.

Shortly the green band started to erupt showing beautiful pillars of green and red against the star filled sky.

The bands of red got higher in the sky as a loon and barred owl started calling in the distance. The experience was well worth losing sleep over. We haven’t had many good aurora sightings this year so it was nice to see their return.
