I see the strangest things at night skies full of color a beautiful sight Last night it was a shade of cherryred I almost called my Henk out of bed It was weird, no clouds were involved a phenomenon that I've not yet solved It just looked like Halloweenredspray it was a bit scary I really must say And don't say it's the sunset that I saw at two AM it's pitchdark that's the law Stars I saw so many were never there they were just scattered everywhere The color was seen over a long range never saw something like it so strange And tonight again at two AM I was outside above me pitchdark fading to orangelight Not just one spot but all around as I turned it just looked like if the horizons burned Oh well, maybe some aliens spooked around although I didn't hear a single sound Still it's so strange those colors at night but I can tell you, it was a perfect sight A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

 (sigh) Oh my...how beautiful that morning color must have been! (smiles) I've always dreamed of going up north to see the northern lights, and now you're inspiring me to go up to the Netherlands too! (big hugggssssss) I'm so happy you got this beautiful vision in words, it's so special indeed! (sigh) I love it, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

It's really odd... I recall a night when I was about 10 years old - I had this same experience... A totally red sky - it was the middle of the night... and there was no explanation - It was far more light than any northern light display could possibly muster... and yeah - it was gorgeous - and scary... and the alien thought has never left my mind as a possibility..  .. and this is kewl - I get to delete one of the Dutch mutinists...  |

Titia~ You make it sound sooooo lovely~ Just continue to enjoy it ... maybe it's the Spirit of Halloween deciding that you need to celebrate~  *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I can just picture the image. I wish I had seen it too. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Love it---I too have seen some odd things in the wee hours, and tried to explain, but alas, my friends just say I'm having "flashbacks".....I loved the slow descriptiveness of this....lovely Madamne Titia! |

MistletoeAngel, thanks for your sweet words. Nan, glad I'm not alone to see these weird colors. Beautiful but spooky, scientists would probably have perfect explanations. Yea, I thought you would like that, deleting a one of the mutining Dutchies  Marge dear, the Spirit of Halloween? Maybe you're right, Angels having a Halloweenparty  Tracey, you sure would have liked it Serenity, thanks, yes, strange things happen in the middle of the night. Duncan, I did try, but nothing appeared on my digital camera. So often I want to capture beautiful moons, but alas, all I'm getting is a pitchdark photo.

I, too, missed any photo you might have taken, you are always so good to share those... but a wonderful depiction and charming description of something for Hallowe'en's awe! |

Hi sweet Vicky, glad to see you. WayoutWalt, thanks Sunshine, well the pics didn't work out, showed just pitchdarkness. Need another kind of camera to catch it, so no pics this time. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
