Northern Lights over Heinola, Finland

Didn't realize how many lakes Finland has.

Good reason that Minnesota has a large Finnish population.  It's like home.

It's not like Somalia.

 

I was coming home from a business trip and we were in the landing pattern over Minneapolis, when a couple near me exclaimed, "Look at all the lakes!".  The funny part is that Minneapolis has few lakes compared to the Northern half of our state.  We are the land of 10,000 lakes and 52,000 mudholes.

When you think about it, a boat on the water is a fragile thing susceptible to nature anytime the weather takes on an ominous turn.

I served on a small Navy ship with a wooden hull.  It was always exhilarating when a severe storm raged and you rode  out waves that towered over you like you were the smallest thing in the universe.   Then again in scenes like this, they are like physical poetry.
