I’ve always wanted to visit tas. I wanna see the Aurora Australis
I have pictures! It popped up in my backyard one day. I didn't even have to travel. It doesn't look like the pictures to the naked eye, as much. But if you snap a shot you can see it vividly and then you notice the colours in the sky too. I don't know if it's always that way, or the one that randomly popped up in the sky directly above me, was just like that. It gives you that feeling like you're small, but a part of something so much larger than yourself, like looking at a particularly beautiful (more visible) starry sky.
