My first thought when I saw today's APOD was, "An aurora image. Then I'm not expected to say anything smart about it."
My second thought was, "That sure looks like Sweden. That lake, and those low wooded hills in the background, and lights from houses lined up along parts of the shore. What are those branches that we see in the foreground - are they willow, or just birch?"
My third thought was, "It
is Sweden. Yeah."
My fourth thought was: "I can see the Big Dipper peeking through between those foreground branches, at right, but not all the way into the corner."
My fifth thought was, "I'll leave the discussion about the aurora to someone else!"
