Here is my favorite image of 2016.  It was take in the Tombstone Park in the Yukon in September of this year.  It was a tough image to get as a considerable amount of time was waited for all the elements to align.  The Green glow is the aurora looking towards the southern sky.  I had to wait until the early hours of the morning for both the aurora and the milky way to align.  It was not a great night for the aurora but sometimes you get what you get.  The temperature was about -10C but all you taught me about keeping a warm lens paid off that night.  As the ice formed on the lake I had to clear it away to keep the reflection clean.  After being up most of the night and beating the elements, I feel I cam away with a worthy if not unworldly image.
