This photo was taken on February 5, 2011, in Kenai, Alaska. Recent solar activity and clear skies prompted me to head to a dark portion of the city, away from light pollution. I stood in -10F (-23 C) in temperatures, watching the aurora borealis (or, the Northern Lights) slowly dance on the northern horizon. Just when I was thinking about packing it up and heading home for the night, the auroral activity began to increase dramatically. Waves of green light began to dance overhead. I shifted my gaze from the North and saw this scene to my West. The aurora almost seemed as if it was interacting with the surroundings, as it appeared to highlight the frosted trees and dip down just above the snowy road. lightandcomposition/photo-of-the-day-july-27-aurora-borealis-by-ryan-marquis/
