Not the Aurora Australis

The Aurora has been busy in our area recently, however, we have had lots of cloud cover and we unfortunately missed it.


We had an amazing orange sunset with a rainbow.  Totally beautiful.


Sunset with rainbow.


We don't usually get sunsets this pretty.


Very bright orange sunset.


Then the next night the space station went right over our house.


And the moon was in sky.
