Scenic pictures of Comet Hale-Bopp.
Interesting plants in the mamane forest near Hale Pohaku, Mauna Kea, Hawai`i.
Aurorae behind the San Francisco Peaks, from our house.
The only time I saw the aurorae from Flagstaff, and the best of the few displays
I've ever seen, though it didn't look quite this bright to the naked eye.
Ironically, the picture was taken on film I bought for planned auroral photography during a
trip to Alaska in November 2000, but I never used it for that purpose. The aurorae came
to me instead. Ektachrome 200 pushed to ISO 400, about 20 seconds at f 1.8.
About 12:30 am, March 31 2001 (one of the last slides I ever took, before going entirely digital).
Thanks to Nat White for waking us up to see this.
