Is this the phenomenon that makes a city look like its floating in the sky? Plenty of good video of it, just thought it was another gimmick or crazy app.

And I like to search ayahuasca.

Yes I would think so. A few time as I was sailing from the San Juans to Blaine I would see Vancouver. B.C. double image with the top one stretching upward. I'm always fascinated by it. I used to drive to Alaska every year, there were time's the aurora borealis would be so intense at night, I couldn't drive, I would just park and spend hours watching the light show.

Man that's just....dreamy? Couldn't think of a better word. What time of Year do you see that over Vancouver? Winter thing or just random?

I've always wanted to see a good portion of the borealis. Only ever seen it's glow over the trees.

The last time over, perhaps a month ago. My daughter and grand daughter were with me, my grand daughter was amazed, could not believe her eyes. Good stuff. Northern B.C. the Northern lights would get so intense it seemed 100 yards away. Mind blowing!

That's wild. I've got to get up that way sooner than later. Thanks for sharing Stinky.

Sure. Where are you at? It's a great place the P.N.W. I'm very glad to be back here myself after being gone for 30 or so years.

I'm in Georgia for now. On the Alabama line. I just purchased an old RV and I'm planning on touring the country during hurricane season.

I'll be visiting the Dakota's and Wyoming first. The last pocket of the US I've not traveled to yet. Then it's on to Canada and back to Alaska.

Can't wait to see it all.
