The night sky after the Memorial Service for Pope County Deputy Josh Owen was captured by a couple of local observers who noticed a “blue line” in their photos in the night sky. It served as a “Godwink” for many who noticed the northern lights over Glenwood and Lake Minnewaska. The top photo was taken by Donny Ostrander. Notice the blue light to the right as the clouds rolled in. Thomas Blair captured a sliver of the Northern Lights in the photo at right. “There’s no mistaking that thin blue line watching over us all here in Pope County as we turn in for the night,” it was stated. “Josh loved his nights.”
