No Dave,  NOTHING is worth risking sand in your shoes...  

I came in here expecting to see a Photoshop joke. I'm disappointed.

I am near Washington, DC.  I figured I would see the Northern lights during the next pole reversal.
 
Those are beautiful pictures - I was actually able to see them as a kid, when we were in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area at the US-Canadian border in Minnesota.  Beautiful.

Was this worth risking 80 degree temperatures and potential sand in my shoes?
 

This is looking west toward the South China Sea from Bauang, Philippines, last Monday night. 

Nice move, bit. But I'll see your 80° sunset and raise y... er... lower you 100....

 
(Though I'd rather be there than here, if that helps. )
