Vacation Sunset with Aura

I had just decided to go on short-term disability to see if that would help my Chronic Migraines. A doctor ordered vacation sounded like a great idea to start this time of healing. But alas, the Migraines followed me to the islands. As I enjoyed a beautiful sunset, an aura began. For me the aura starts small in a crescent moon shape and then grows larger until it is out of my vision. This photo shows the progression of the aura over 20 minutes.
