Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

My husband & I just returned from a vacation yesterday which was planned for Northern Lights viewing. Ironically, we stated in a B&B/cabin called Perdo's Hide-A-Way just down the road in Fox from where you were taking your photos. It is a small cabin located just above the Pedro Historical Site. We also saw those amazing dancing Aurora's (2/28/11-3/5/11) & I was able to get some great pictures. I used a shutter cable with timed exposures of 20-45 sec. (avg), F 4.0 & iso 400. We also went to the Silver Gulch for alittle taste of the local flavor. Another event that was spectaular was the Ice Art Championship. The sculptures all lite up @ night were spectacular. It was a vacation of a lifetime & we would encourage anyone to this experience
