A text last night notifying me the northern lights were possible and a quick trip down to the beach.
SO worth it. I was able to photograph these for over a half-hour and finally was just too tired and had to go to sleep. I suspect if I'd been with others, I'd have stayed a lot longer!
This is the Aurora Borealis, or northern lights, over Beaver Island, with Big Dipper watching over it (upper left corner). Three images combined to form a square pano (the images were quite close to one another but I wanted to get both the Dipper and the shoreline and couldn't fit it in with the 20mm). Can't wait to process the rest!
@ludwigsdiana No, taken last night. Have to fix date on camera! Just checked and when I adjusted time zone I hit the wrong year. Thanks for the heads up!
@angelar Thanks! This wasn’t the move as we’ve come here every summer and plan to do so as long as we can. The real move was to Tucson. We’ll be back there at the end of the season here. Exciting but sad not to be in Chicago.
