Summer Nights Beckon the Soul to the North

Tonight's low here in southeastern Michigan is going to be 67, which is as good a sign as any that summer is upon this part of the world.  Longing for refuge to the more familiar lands of the North, I came across this delightful video, which I wanted to share here.  Summer draws many in this part of the world northwards, though I find Le Nord to be most beautiful in the winter, when the snow, evergreens, and auroras conspire to make any tropical part of the world jealous owing to lack of color.



The images captured were taken in northwestern Ontario and eastern Manitoba, which, while not my beloved Laurentian and Algonquin mountains, are lovely lands still largely untouched by human hands, miraculous reflections of the Creator.  The rock you see is among the oldest in the world, having endured well over two billion years of existence.  Enjoy this diversion!
