English DiaryHappy New Year!

You would never expect it, but there was a beautiful firework display out here. Actually, very charming! With the Northern Lights shining in the background, it was almost mystical. Plus, with it being bitterly dry cold, the colors seemed to be brighter and more vibrant.
