Photographing the Aurora Borealis

Cold, winter temperatures,
fingertips exposed…
working my camera to capture each show composed.

Colors danced in the starry sky,
retreating, advancing, shimmering to great height;
merging into swirls…definitely, a true delight!

Green, pink, red, blue and purple,
“Auroras” – such an incredible sight…
happened in Norway on one extraordinary night.

This photo was one of my favorite captures from our time in Norway. I feel very fortunate to once again witness this wondrous interaction between solar particles and Earth’s atmosphere.

I was in Grand Marais MN and the Aurora is always so 'intrusive" on the Milky Way. This time the colors just could not be ignored. Between the yellow of the light pollution and the green of the glow to the pink of the aurora this was truly a rainbow!
