The aurora (northern lights) were spectacular a few nights ago and looking to only get better this week. I finally found a spot to view the aurora without many photographers and people shining lights. The only downside to shooting the aurora is that the temperatures are very very cold!

    Beautifully composed with the tracks in the deep snow (and, of course, the borealis contributed ;)

    This is insanely beautiful Mike, and something I hope to one day be fortunate enough to see with my own eyes. Until then I’ll have to content myself with living vicariously through you :)
