Northern Lights

The Northern Lights came to Mount Vernon and Washington State on the night of May 10th, 2024. I was in Seattle that evening and returned late. At first, I didn't notice so much, but I went outside around 1 AM to make sure I wasn't missing a show, and I'm glad I did. The lights were visible to the naked eye, and with short time pictures from the phone, easy to capture. It was indeed a spectacular show, and all the papers and on-line feeds reported on it. These photos are taken from 15th and Fir Street in Mount Vernon, and are just a sampling of the photo-ops. Fir Street is a somewhat busy arterial in the MV, but the cars were few at this hour.
