Aurora

i couldn't believe that i saw aurora the first time in my life in Elk Island National Park!it was really amazing and beautiful...staring at this phenomena,i couldn't think of anything.my brain was empty and my facial expression filled with jovial!i was very excited and amazed by the scenery in front of me!it was light green with different patterns on the sky.i thought aurora is just a static light shine in the sky,yet i was wrong until i saw it by myself.Aurora was a moving pattern of the light in the night sky.As described by Jeff,it was like a piece of paper waving in the sky.sometimes it shone above the horizontal level of it initial position. then,it faded away from here and move to the other side of the sky...when it had occupied the north part of the sky,it then opened up a channel in the middle part of the sky just like the way we open up a curtain of a window. it was really an amazing night show in the sky!Aurora appeared for about 15 minutes and it just slowly faded away...however, the show will eternally remained in my mind as the most memorable memory in Edmonton!:)
on my way back to campus,i saw the night view of Edmonton.though the blinking roadway decoration and highway lamps were so attractive, yet it still couldn't replace the amazing northen light! it will be the most astonished light show that i have ever seen in my life!i hope i can have another chance to see it again:)
