This is a video of an aurora substorm that was filmed in Yellowknife, Canada. What I like about it in particular is hearing the people yelping and howling at the sight of it. It is amazing and satisfying to watch.

updated August 7, 2015


It seems bad traffic is everywhere.  Here it is at Meskel Square in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.  It's a jungle out there!  True, the video is speeded up, but notice there is no traffic signal!  And check out those poor pedestrians!
