wow! that's awesome
so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?
The difficulty in photographing the northern lights is that you must be able to set your f/stop very low and your ISO very high. Then you have to leave the shutter open for many seconds requiring a tripod. Cameras can do this but until recently, video cameras did not have those settings, unless you were a government or something and able to spend $40,000 on a camera. Now you can, though still very expensive I'm sure. This is why you will normally only see time lapse "videos" of the northern lights. Until now. My friend Ronn will be entertaining us this winter with his new video camera.
This is what it normally sounds like when people see the lights for the first time. It's also what it often sounds like when us old timers see them.

WOW oh WOW thanks so very much for posting! I hope I see them some day.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15
One of the problems living in a small cabin has is where to put stuff. Nothing comes in the house without me having already thought about where I am going to put it. BUT now I am out of space to put more guns hahaha. Three rifles, in cases, has been sitting on the spare click clack couch. My sister is coming to visit so I am trying to find a place for these to belong. I want to hang them up, but in their cases, and somewhere they are not visible from my front windows to someone driving down my road. So I am thinking of hanging them on the back side of the staircase. One hook in the middle to hang the handles over. Then one spike type hook at each end to keep them at the proper angle. Can you picture that? Have any ideas? I'm really out of wall space so can't just hang them on the wall, besides, there is that whole, out of site from in front of my house thing.

I share you pain.
The stairs looks very similar to "The Place" including a landing.
We blocked one side with a shelving unit also divides the living room off from the rest a bit, and have been toying with the idea of enclosing the bottom of the open stairs.......but would be a PITA to clean out dog hair.....and such.
That is where I'm picturing hang the cases.
I do understand that you are renting so building something like a false bottom may be out of the question.....but even hanging as you suggest, maybe covered with a tarp would do the trick.

I'm thinking a hook in the middle to hook the case handles over. A bigger L hook, upside down at the bottom to tuck the butt end of the cases under. That would keep it at the proper angle.

Storage is always an issue regardless of the size of the house you live in.
So true.....

You can hang them beside the stairs
I'm a Gramp who is not computer savvy, give me a slab and the rock ages tablet..I will do fine!
hang them above the windows
No, there is stuff hanging there already. I took this picture before we moved in a couple of years ago.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of my husband's passing. It is also the last day of an intense training I am going through to be a member of SART. (Sexual Assault Response Team) The SART team includes an Advocate (me) an Investigator, and a Forensic Nurse. As most of your know, Alaska has the highest number of sexual assault and domestic violence in the nation. It is also the highest in women being murdered by men. Last month alone there were 20 victims from our area. Almost half of those were children from two separate families. Needless to say, I'll be glad when this day is over.
My friend won a road lottery ticket into Denali so that is where I will be going tomorrow. Normally personal vehicles are only allowed to mile 15 of the road going into the park. On shoulder seasons, if the snow is not too deep, you can drive in to Mile 30. The road is 90 miles.

Every time an older person dies, its like burning a full set of encyclopedias that will never be published again. So, if you ever want to learn more of anything, just find a old tradesman and hang out with him and then when he passes on, not the full set will burn, you'll have parts of it to pass on to others.
You can't see my pictures Willie?

Sept. 13, 2014. The road into Denali National Park and Preserve is 90 miles long. Most of the time, personal vehicles are not allowed into the park and one must take a bus. But once a year they hold a road lottery. Anyone can buy a ticket to enter. This year, my friend Lori won one of the tickets and allowed me to drive in. I'm sooo glad The Mountain decided to come out and show us her face. More often she is covered in her own micro climated clouds.
