'A picture held us captive, for it lay in our language'. Love your description Jenny; very fitting.

Description
Under a frozen mountain sky, the aurora unfolded in silence, soft yet powerful. It was not dramatic or loud, but deeply moving. Moments like this remind us how small we are, and how beautiful that smallness can feel in the presence of nature.
