One of the most beautiful natural phenomena is the northern lights, or aurora borealis. While common in the high latitudes, it’s rare when the aurora occurs simultaneously with sunset, moonrise, and a clear sky. [continued]

This combination of natural elements creates a breathtaking and almost otherworldly scene. The vibrant hues of the aurora dance across the darkening sky, while the warm colors of the sunset slowly fade into the horizon. As the moon rises, it adds a soft glow to the landscape, illuminating the surrounding area and enhancing the beauty of the aurora.

To witness such a rare and stunning event would truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is a reminder of the power and beauty of nature, and how small we are in comparison. It's moments like these that make us appreciate the world we live in and the wonders that it holds.

It's no wonder that people travel from all over the world to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis. It's a reminder that there is still so much to discover and explore on our planet, and that nature is full of surprises.

So if you ever have the opportunity to witness the aurora borealis with a sunset, moonrise, and a clear sky, don't hesitate to take it. It will be a memory that will stay with you forever, and a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us every day.

Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
