As beautiful as this picture is, the real wonder comes while watching them. The shimmering and changing of the colours is breathtaking. And the speed
at which they change is truly remarkable.
It's indeed beautiful - can't imagine what it must have been like to see it with the naked eye.
Or maybe that's not a good idea - there's something about the image that reminds me of the beautiful angel that emerged from the Ark of the covenant
at the end of Indiana Jones - you know, the ones that then turned into scary demons, melting anyone that looked at them (bit like Dennis Hopper in
Blue Velvet
How long does the angel appear, and does it maintain this form, or is this shot a lucky moment?
