Aurora Borealis

We recently had one of the best aurora borealis we've had in several years.   Judy and I took our small camper, along with two of our grandchildren, to Palisade Head at Tettegouche State Park to watch the aurora over Lake Superior.  I used the Nikon D4, 14-24mm lens and painted the cliff with light during the long exposure for extra definition.

"We've had a real shortage of aurora borealis in the last few years. This is not a great shot but it's more than we've had for some time. This building is a space where I spend a lot of my private time. Many of my important writing projects have been born and completed here.  I carved the wolf weather vane more than 30 years ago and like to think that rather than measuring the direction of the wind, it gives me the direction of which way to head out on my next photo quest."  ~ Jim
