Northern Lights (1) - a photo on Flickriver

Just over a month after seeing a total solar eclipse for the first time, I was able to see and photograph the aurora borealis. Friday night was cloudy and rainy, so I didn't even bother going out. Saturday night was clear so I found a location away from the city lights and headed out shortly before midnight. When I first arrived, I saw nothing in sky. I was feeling like it was a waste of time. But since I was there, I stuck it out. Finally, I saw though the camera faint green color on the horizon. Gradually, the colors improved. This shot was a little before the colors were at their peak, but I lucked out and captured a meteor during the 30 second exposure. This video shows the progression of the aurora borealis I witnessed over about a 50 minute period of time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5a_4SVG1cY I'll post one more tomorrow night when the colors were at their peak.
