Aurora

She danced across the heavens Whirling and twirling in delight She slid up and down creating images With delight she colored the sky She made no sound as she moved She sculpted as she danced Unique patterns unfolded the heavens became her canvas colors became more vibrant Her colors changed with each breath She danced merrily for hours on end Until the final curtain was drawn With the up coming dawn. 1/16/13

Chips of colored glass placed inside a lighted tube cannot match the effects you so masterfully present here. Beautiful, beyond description... But you came mighty close..... Jake

Very nice image. It occurred to me that there are actually two auroras, borealis (northern) and australis (southern), maybe they are twin sisters, dancing on opposite sides of the sky. Cheers, Roy

I've only seen images or an aurora..and they have all been breathtaking. Perhaps it is an Aurora sprite or fairy...or indeed an angel to dance such beauty with her breath. Enjoyed this very much !!
