I’ve featured several videos of the aurora (aka Northern and Southern Lights) over the years because I really enjoy seeing them myself and I know that many of you enjoy them as well.
Today’s time-lapse video features the awesome beauty of the Northern Lights as they dance brightly in the skies above Delta Junction, Alaska. [Read more…]

Confession time…
I have always been fascinated and intrigued by thunder and lightning!

In the short video below, Dolly gives a more detailed description of how all of that played out at the time, in her own words. After she finishes speaking she sings the song again for our listening pleasure. [Read more…]
A few days ago I shared this short video about the lives of Wilbur and Orville Wright, the famous Ohio brothers who designed, built and flew the very first successful heavier-than-air aircraft.
Although they were the first to achieve success, the Wright Brothers were far from the first people to attempt to create a flying machine. There were actually many before them, and to be honest, some of their designs were pretty interesting.
Today’s video shows several early aircraft prototypes that probably seemed like good ideas at the time, but ultimately ended in failure – some of which just might bring a smile to your face. [Read more…]
