Those photographs are absolutely mesmerising. I had not heard the term before but, no doubt, I've seen the clouds. They only occur in the Summer so, I won't be popping out for a look now since it is the dead of Winter here. I am comforted by the fact that there are some things that remain unknown. By the way, I've often wondered if Britain is too far south to view Aurora Borealis. I witnessed it once when travelling down from the Yukon. It was a freezing Winter's night on the lonely Alaska Highway in a truck that picked me up. It was not coloured but a curtain of white light, dancing in the black sky. Unfortunately, Australia is too far north to witness Aurora Australis. It is visible in Antarctica and probably in southern Argentina. I should make the effort to witness that one too before I get too old. British scientists have looked at clouds from both sides, now but, they still don't know clouds. Fortunately, it's cloud illusions I recall...and...my imagination.

It was a very cold winter night. I remember the light being green. According to Wikipedia, the Auroras (or, rather, Aurorae) are "commonly visible between 65 to 72 degrees north and south latitudes, which would place it in a ring just within the Arctic and Antarctic circles. Aurorae occur deeper inside the polar regions, but these are infrequent occurrences, and these are often invisible to the naked eye." Quebec is at 48 N latitude, so maybe it was an uncommon occurrence. I've certainly never seen it again. London is at 50 N, and Aberdeen, Scotland at 57 N. I guess if you wanted to see this on any regular basis, you'd need to head further north. Sydney is at 34 S - you need to head south, Mark! ________________________________ From: Mark-Leon Thorne To: williamwaddell@hotmail.co.uk Cc: joni@smoe.org Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 3:29:29 AM Subject: Re: Clouds Thank you for the link, Willy and Joe.

Dave Carter NJC its weird about Dave, his spirit lives on in a sense, but I get the feeling he is really, truly gone. Like as in "beyond". Riding a beam of light way past the sun or something. Way past some other universe's sun, even! But he left such a sweet chunk of his humanity with us. I'll never forget him. Wish I could have met him.

Dave Carter NJC Thanks, Gene, for remembering Dave. When we get together with our jamming buddies we almost always finish up with "Cowboy Singer". Dave & Tracy were the very first act I booked when I took over the Living Tradition series in 1999. Hoping to meet you at Folk Alliance Region - West in October!

Dave Carter NJC Thanks Em, you are absolutely right---"left a sweet chunk of humanity with us." JohnSmith was spot on what he wrote in his tribute song about Dave. This is a verse from the song: "He was here today, and gone tomorrow, like prairie smoke in may he joined the clouds and when the rain comes down he's that shiny on the blacktop highway runnin' 'long the ditches, following the stream and joinin' the fishes racing all the way down to the sea where he meets up with an otter in the cold deep water and sings a clear blue melody" He was just that kind of a person. You can meet him---through his words, songs, and music. Here's a story that Tracy Grammar related. Dave passed in Tracy's arms after coming back to the hotel from jogging. That night, after all the legal paperwork Tracy went back to the hotel room. Unable to sleep because of the events that had unfolded, she stared out the hotel window. There outside the window, late in the dark evening was a sparrow sitting on the sill staring at Tracy. I liked to believe that was Dave Carter. If anybody could cross back, it would be Dave. peace~~~gene ----- Original Message ----- From: Em To: joni ; gene Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 5:56 AM Subject: Re: NJC R.I.P.
