Shieldmaiden Saturday #15 -Valkyrie in Aurora Borealis

On this late Saturday night I bring to you not a painting, etching or carving of a Shieldmaiden or Valkyrie. Nor do i bring to you a woman portraying one of these wonderful women. Instead I bring to you a photo of the Aurora Borealis in Norway that was taken by Dionys Moser. To me it looks like a shieldmaiden or a Valkyrie or an angel, if you are one of the three major religions, sitting on her haunches over a fallen warrior. There are wings and the shape of a face  in profile. A long face but still a face. Then it maybe just me seeing this but I saw this at first glance and not looking long at it.

  If you do not see what I see or my imagination wants me to see I hope you will at least enjoy the beauty of the Aurora Borealis.
