A call of aurora went out over the telephone system from the meterorogical observer on night shift. I bolted outside to witness a most spectacular aurora that crescendoed and disappeared all within 10 minutes. Curtains of purple and red showered down overhead, before the whole thing seemingly flew across the sky and disappeared. It was as if it were a living creature, just passing by to taunt us only to vanish before we fully appreciated it's beauty. It pulsated to the extent that the exposure time required for each photo made it impossible to keep up with capturing the rapidly unfolding scene.
