Aurora in Alaska

"He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted" -Job 9:8-10

I lived in interior Alaska for a year, and one of my favorite things to do was to go out in the middle of the night, in the freezing cold, and photograph the incredible aurora borealis.  Imagine this ribbon of light waving and streaking across the sky--what a sight!
