Eagle River. With just the very top of the mountain in the background I thought it might have been at Baldy. But now that you mention the Seward hwy, I can totally picture the mtns in the mchugh creek/Indian area as the backdrop.

Watching them live is amazing! In order to get a good pic you have to leave the shutter open longer and so the aurora appears smeared. In person, they are very crisp and vivid.

I fell asleep and missed them. This pic looks like ER area?

Wow! What the hell did you do to your femur?

I’m getting a total hip replacement this Friday. Things will get better soon! My femoral break was at the neck. Screws backed out, hence the new hip.

Thankfully I couldn’t hear my femur break over the sound of the rest of my body crashing into the pavement 😆.

Please wear safety gear my friend. Helmet, gloves, wrist guards, knee and elbow pads are what saved me from more extensive injuries when I launched off my OneWheel 7 weeks ago and broke my femur.

I’m currently dealing with a broken femur. The most excruciating pain I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Femurs take a long time to heal. My doc told me 4-6 months minimum before I’ll be back to life again.
Then after the healing you need to do physical therapy to regain your strength. Since my break 7 weeks ago I’ve lost so much strength it takes every bit of strength I have just to lift the leg up to get into bed/car/etc, and some days I don’t even have that and have to use my hands to lift/move/reposition my leg.
Femur breaks are no joke.

Normally it’s mainly greens that you’ll see. During times of higher geomagnetic activity is when the reds come out. I’m glad you enjoyed the show!
Hatchers pass is where a lot of people go to see/take pictures of the aurora. The light pollution there is minimal.
