Haha I don't have night pictures, but I have some I took earlier that day on the deck. I smoked the same pipe and blend that night because I was too lazy to go back downstairs to switch it up
A Privileged Pipe Smoking Moment

Pretty much all night. Started a little after midnight and was still going strong when I hit the sack around 3.
Hahaha, I always think about the same thing. I'm sure as a species we've known of it's existence since we were monkeys (or whatever you believe as far as human origins). But what they MEAN I'm sure has varied greatly from culture to culture.
Hahaha, yeah, I've just been INSANELY busy lately. Yeah, there has been quite a few various old PDs popping up lately. What an incredibly unique catalog they had at that time.I see you’ve come out of your winter hibernation... LOL
Hey, so funny you mention a 1966 Pipe Dan, have a look;
PREBEN HOLM RARE 1966 UNSMOKED XL ACORN 98P 866 FOR PIPE DAN ESTATE PIPE | eBay
Preben was just a youngster at 16 years of age when he sold his first pipe to Pipe Dan in 1963 and only 3 years later he carved this stunning XL Acorn in 1966 that shockingly remains unsmoked after 56 years!www.ebay.com
Meh, I’ve seen cooler. Just kidding, that looks amazing! Doesn’t get much better than that.
I have seen cooler, but not very many times! We see them at least a few times a year, but are rarely treated to the crazy vivid ones like this. Usually it's just a few streaks of green here and there.
I am thinking if to my mind the furtherest horizon I've seen might be the literal ends of the earth, then surely something like the aurora must have taken an extra layer of mind blown. Though who knows some people now could see that and say "I can't eat it or make money off it so who cares".
Absolutely stunning!!! On the bucket list to see before I roll a 7 for sure.
I don’t see them often, (45 N Lat.) and rarely with red and blue hues, but they are mesmerizing…
Gods canvas! Thank you for sharing. I remember one time when I lived in NY as a whisper snapper I observed the Aurora borealis and was completely perplexed and fascinated. Natures exhalation of magnificent tobacco. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, the night photos are absolutely incredible....but your daytime vistas are pretty awesome too!
That would make for an almost transcendental smoke. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible! Thanks for post those photos.
Mesmerizing is the word. My neck hurt the next day from looking up for so long hahaha.
Some times I used to walk to a deer stand way back around 3 am so I could get settled in and not disturb anything. Normally I’d doze off until it began to get light.
One particular time, just after I got settled the sky began pulsating with greenish waves that intensified, then bright rays raced across the sky with brilliant reds and purples, yellow and green. It was so bright it lit up the ground.
I sat there watching for several hours. The predawn light edged them out eventually, followed by sunrise. About a half hour later I downed a nice 10 point whitetail.
Hell yeah man, ideal! Best auroras ive ever seen were at the moose camp. The night after my buddies 13 year old killed his first bull. Doesn’t get any better than that!
