Beauty of North Country – Theme of the Week by Brand Thunder

This week’s browser theme of the week designed by Firefox Personas designer, Madonna, features a dazzling array of color from the Northern Hemisphere in a theme called “Beauty of the North Country”. This theme features the natural light display known as “Aurora Borealis” which is a phenomenon caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere.

Couple that with a brilliant display of evening stars, the forest shadows in the background and two Northern wolves on the right hand side of the theme, and you can easily see why this was chosen as the theme of the week this week.
