Northern Lights Have You Ever Felt A
Northern Light Free As A Breeze
Not To Mention The Trees
Whistling Tunes That You Know And Love So

Northern Lights Just As Good Even When
Closed Your Eyes I Apologize
To Any One Who Can Truly Say
He Has Found A Better Way

Feel So Good Feel So Good It's Frightening
Wish I Could Stop This World From Fighting
La Da Da Da Da Da La Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da...

What? What's that?
Oh! That's right. Let's start over...

Southern Lights Have You Ever Felt...
WHAT! WHAT IS IT NOW?!?

Oh. The song is 'Southern Nights'? Well if that don't beat all.
...never mind

These were taken a few minutes before midnight, about 60 miles west of Chicago.
My first ever Northern Lights!!! I never imagined I would see them without having to travel way north.
My brother called last night and told me they were visible so I ran outside. I spent about an hour taking pictures in a t-shirt and cord jacket -- too excited to be cold! Though I started sneezing not long after I got in, and I can't keep warm today.

When this picture was taken you could barely see them with the naked eye, but this is what a 30 second exposure revealed.
