Day 7 The Northern Lights "Aurora Borealis"

                      An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, particularly in the polar regions, caused by the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field..In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621. The chance of visibility of the aurora borealis increases with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole. Auroras seen near the magnetic pole may be high overhead, but from farther away, they illuminate the northern horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. 

        I had another great day in Sørreisa, Norway being with Fredrik and his family. I spent the day with Fredrik and Linnea. Poor little Linnea was sick and Fredrik had to take off work. I wrote a number of posts on my Blog and I was surprised just how long it took me. I guess Creative writing or work does take quite awhile because it's not just doing the work but figuring out what you want to do. I also planned the rest of my trip! I bought four Ryan Air flights! Sent out a number of Couch Surfing requests. At night I saw some more Northern Lights!!! this they were even brighter!! amazing! :)
