It’s been awhile since I have posted anything, and we are now in 24-hour sunlight here in Barrow, so I am missing the light displays we had this winter. The northern lights don’t always make a substantial showing up this way, but this year, they put on a show that wasn’t half bad.
Of course, being a grumpy old bastard, I’m not always keen to drive out of the light pollution here in town to take pics in the freezing cold, and it doesn’t help that my camera these days isn’t great for night pics, but my gal, Moni, is still blessed with joy when she sees them, and she is always happy to drag me out onto ‘cake-eater road’ where we can take these pictures and I can grumble about the whole thing here in this gigantic run-on sentence.
Yeah, that’s just how I roll!
Often as not, I am glad that Moni makes me go out and take pictures with her, but I’ll be damned if my fingers don’t stay mad sometimes for hours. Hot chocolate helps.
In any event, we gots pics!
I took mine with my phone, so they aren’t the greatest, but some of these are kinda cool.

It is quite astonishing that you can make these photos with a phone! 🤯

The cameras on our phones are getting really good. I got lucky on a few of these.

I use my Android for newspaper pix if I’m without a “real” camera. Still prefer an SLR, but I can make do with the phone.

Very cool. Only seen ’em once, but still have flashbacks. 🙂

These photos are absolutely stunning! I’m glad that Moni was able to drag you out there.
