Aurora Borealis
Nikon D610 +Rokinon 14mm f2.8
30 secs ISO 3200
The weekend trip down at Pasqua Lake with some friends turned out to be a great night. I purposely did not bring my telescope rig this time since the skies looked a bit overcast with all the forest fires up in the North. The Milky Way was hardly popping out, with the low horizon so hazy that i decided its not worth spending time to photograph it. Then i received an aurora activity alert on my phone. Mother nature decided to put up a show that night. The sky lit up with shimmering waves of green and purple light. I could hardly wait to start shooting as i climbed a nearby hill to have a better view. It was such a beautiful sight. With gentle warm breeze blowing, it was so quiet as i sat there alone atop of the hill, looking up the stars and marveling how vast and beautiful our universe is.
