big sky country

last night on my marathon drive home from Victoria at around 2am, I saw the most intense skyscape that i could possibly imagine:

off to my left, the sun was just below the horizon and the sky was a beautiful bright blue with only the brightest stars still visible.

directly above me, the sky was clear and black with bright yellow stars and moon.

straight ahead and to the right, an intense electrical storm filled black clouds with bright flashes of orange light and chains of lightening.

and above the storm clouds, which were low to the horizon, vivid green northern lights danced across the sky.

it was everything that i love about the big sky in the peace country all at once. amazing.
