Northern lights!

The sky put on a brilliant show tonight! The Northern Lights were very strong over the SLU campus tonight. I went to the golf course where there's less light pollution and was just in time to see the build up and peak of the colors. This is the second fall season in a row that I've been able to see the Northern Lights at SLU! A truly special encounter.

Event description

We’re so excited to invite you to a creative afternoon with The LIGHT House, Close the Loop, and Nature Up North where art, sustainability, and community come together!

Wait… but what is cyanotypeeee?? 👀
Cyanotype is a magical photographic printing process that uses sunlight to make stunning blue-and-white prints! 💙☀️ And don’t worry, even though winter’s stealing our sunlight, our friends from Close the Loop are bringing sun lamps so the magic still happens.
