Aurora Over Mono Lake: A Rare Dance of Light © Daniel Zafra. This photograph captures the rare occurrence of Northern Lights in California.

Haven't posted photos in a while because I'm woefully behind on editing anything new.

Case and point here - these are from a local northern lights outing along the Oklahoma/Missouri state line from October 10 of last year.

In keeping with my local sightings in the four state area, I tried to see the lights from as many states as possible, so I also have some pics from Missouri and Arkansas as well, although less vibrant due to light pollution.

I am a somewhat frequent traveler for work reasons. If I have leg space, I always sit on the window, away from the sunny side. This is one of the tricks to a calmer flight and night.

Flying back from #Tokyo #Haneda to #Munich, only the right side was free. Good if we fly under Russia, OK if we fly over the Artic. Decent enough sun activity to have a chance at #Northernlights. It's a night flight. Or so I thought...

The #boeing787 has dimmable windows, not physical shades. It's summer solstice.
