salsabike...I did a school exchange trip to Ivujivik, the northern most village in Nunavik, when i was in Quebec. A good location to see the northern lights. I did other trips to northern Quebec to see the huge pods of Beluga whales going through the Hudson strait and the calving grounds of the Leaf River Herd of caribou (400,000+ caribou). There is such a pristine beauty to the mediative views of nature from boreal forest to open tundra to sea cliffs...it's worth the effort of a trip.

shootingstar….I looked through my journal from that time and I wrote about the Inuit story that the lights were dancing demons pursuing lost souls.

I like this better….

billowing waves of sulfurous fire

swirling mist

diaphanous dust

cascading color

vaporous nymphs and spritely fauns

dance there on jeweled black
