Little Green

by Joni Mitchell

Woke up at 1:35 and went to have a look outside - saw a little green, a streak in the sky. Had to put on warm clothes, do the camera settings and fix the tripod, and then get out onto the yard. The northern lights were amazing, in constant change. The brightest one was just on top of me, but lasted only a few minutes, and my tripod did not allow taking a photo directly upwards.

This song came to mind with the lyric "little green ... like the nights when the northern lights perform".
