Northern Lights, first encounter

Tonight we had a tour of Trmoso by bus.  This included visiting the Tromso “Natural” Cathedral (more on that in a 2nd post) and we took a the Fjellheisen tramway to the top of Storsteinen at 420 meters above Tromso.  We were in line for a hot chocolate when our German tour guide said, northern lights outside.  It was a mostly cloudy night, though there through a break in the clouds was a green ribbon that snaked across a portion of the sky.  It moved slightly for the next fifteen minutes or so.

Being on a schedule we left for our next “stop”.  The weather is clearing, though I have no idea how long that will last.  We are all hopeful that the displays continue tonight and tomorrow.  We Shall See!
