For those of you who need something beautiful to brighten up your day...

 Or night, as it were. This video, a collection of an enormous number of still photographs of the Aurora Borealis, set to inspirational music. I found it here, on the Discovery News website, where you can get more information on the subject. (Note to Cassidy dearest and others studying Scandinavian languages: they link to the website of the original photographer, and it's in Norwegian, if you would like to practice!)
Aaand... for some reason it doesn't want to embed itself into this post. *shakes fist impotently at sky* Please, then go and see it here. Absolutely gorgeous. Well worth it.
