I am Sctt’s nly custmer tnight, but whether it’s ne persn r a bridal party frm Japan, the prfessinal phtgrapher and videgrapher lves t cme put here t witness ne f nature’s mst spectacular shws — and t share it with thers. “I can’t tell yu hw much jy I get frm seeing the smile n peple’s faces.

Travelers are recmmended t put aside at least three nights t imprve yur chances f viewing, with the idea that yu’ll be up much f the night each time.
Each time he wakes me and I step utside, it appears mre glrius. At first, a fuzz the size f a hneydew flats alng the hrizn. Anther time, a brad green line stretches acrss the sky, fllwed by a shrt tail. “D yu see the red?” Sctt asks. He has me lk thrugh his camera. It can see mre clr than the naked eye. Finally, as if playing a visual symphnic tune, a giant line f phsphrus (发磷光的) green seems t swp dwn t the treetps and dllp them with a curlicue swirl. I’m smiling inside and ut. We can g nw.
