another memory comes to my mind, many here have talked about it. the aurora borealis.
I remember 1989 in March in the middle of the month.
a magnetic storm hits Quebec in its entirety, its happening overnight so no one knows yet. in the morning no one has electricity.
electricity comes back little by little in the evening.
suddenly I look at the sky and the show begins, shapes of all colors appear, green, blue, mauve, red.
it was by far the most beautiful spectacle of the northern lights that I have seen for life.
I remembered this while re-reading passages from this thread.
