The Northern Lights

I liked this piece a lot.  The detail that Sigurd Olson went into when describing The Northern Lights made me feel like I was there.  The details in the story give a heightened sense of perception, every detail is listed.  This is something to me that is relatable because when ever I am on my bike, I get this same sense.  Colors pop out and become vivid.  Every sound is is magnified, from the sounds of nature to the sound of the bike down the trail.  This short story really summed up the beauty of nature quite well.
