A heavenly gift ... - a photo on Flickriver

... and the most beautiful one from my son.

The story behind the image.
The words from my son to his work:
“Aurora in Yellowknife: A short but very impressive and unforgetable adventure !!! We saw the northern lights on 3 from 4 nights. Unfortunately, I was sick on 1 night...but I have to be satisfied.
I will never forget this expirience ! It was cold (-38°C) and expensive haha but also awesome and beautiful !
By -38°C it is difficult to operate with the camera, but I think I still managed to make some pretty good pictures of the Northern Lights ... for the first time in my live. It was breathtakingly beautiful and we were very lucky that we had such clear nights.”

Finally a real winter picture !!!

I miss you so much my dear son but we are united under the same sky. I look up at the sparkling stars and think of you.

His photo touches me so much that I would like to share it here with my dearest friends. My son is still in Canada and has some time left with some friends to discover the beauties of nature in this wonderful Land. They flew to northern Canada a few days ago to see maybe the Northern Lights. The weather conditions seemed good, but the temperatures made them sit up.

Another little story by the way: Until then, my son just photographed with his cell phone. Before he started the journey in northern Canada, he bought a camera to photograph the northern lights properly. He and his friends only had a few days left.
But what they saw on these days, better expressed nights, was simply breathtaking. The Northern Lights in all their beauty. To mention would be the temperature. It was bitterly cold at nights, but it was also the best conditions to photograph the northern lights, because the sky was so clear and beautiful. Look at this thousands of stars !!!

I was also very surprised that Jonah photographed the northern lights for the first time with a camera and that he was able to capture it so beautifully. He seems somehow a nature talent. Great respect, my son.
I was so happy about his wonderful nature photos that I asked him if I could share a picture with my friends here. He was very pleased about my project and is happy to share his picture here.
Taking pictures also means to Jonah, who enjoys sharing it with others.

Listen with me to this lovely music and dream from a wonderful world full of beauty my friends.
