Northern Lights (aurora borialis).

 I was lucky enough to see them back in 1978, I'm pretty sure that anyone else who has seen them will agree that it's a heavenly experience!

Great list!!!! 

I hope to see more peoples replies to this, it give us things to think about and add to our own lists, etc. 
In addition it gives us some insight to our brothers/sisters desires, likes and sometime life challenges. 

I think base jumping should be added to your next belt test as a test of over comming your fears (or personal challenge)

More POWER to you Brother...
