Driving home at end of work day. I ended 70 miles away. The normal route had a detoured highway. I took an alternate route that took me to this ferry across the Wisconsin River. But then I discovered that highway was closed and detoured on the other side of the river. ![](https://watchmandan.com/wfwf/angry.gif) I was wanting to shoot this with my ultrawide 15mm Carl Zeiss lens, but I opened my backpack and it had not been packed in there. This is done at 24mm. Wide, but it would have been more awesome showing more river on the extreme left and right. ![](https://i.imgur.com/2AsPiD3.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/7nRDbE8.jpeg)

Aurora Borealis later that night. This time I found my 15mm ultra-wide lens. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Y77mTGb.jpg) Awesome! I was bummed. I went out around 1am, and I couldn't see anything in my light polluted little corner of paradice. When I went out at 3am it was cloudy. I had taken my medication, so I couldn't go driving away from the city.

I am following the trends though, and I personally think the geomagnetic storm is dying off right now. Pros are still forecasting good Aurora, so maybe.
When I was packing the car to go at 10:30pm, I looked at some "clouds" from my backyard in the parts of the sky that cleared. They looked like thin, wispy clouds without color. But going on a feeling I took photos with my phone, and yes those clouds were actually green Aurora. So use that phone and test what you are looking at.

Yep, I'm going to see what happens tonight. I let my eyes get used to the dark, and stared at the sky, and I thought I saw some motion. Could have ben my medicine. ![](https://watchmandan.com/wfwf/smiley25.gif) I'm in a terrible place for light pollution. Smack dab in the middle of Metro Detroit. On a clear, moonless night I can see a dozen stars or so. On a cloudy night in the winter, the acres of lighted parking lots around here make it bright enough to read in my back yard in the "dark."

If you saw nothing Dan, it was for reason. The Aurora dried up shortly after sunset.

During lunch break last Friday. Madison Audubon Goose Pond, only some blackbirds were around to watch. ![](https://i.imgur.com/i8Oi2Sh.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/wTl562F.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/2XIYM9w.jpg) I love red-winged blackbirds! They remind me of the summers I spent on a farm. It was all fields and brush, and the red-winged blackbirds were numerous.
