Last dance

Nikon D700/Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 @3.2, ISO 600/ 15sec

Shortly after 1am this morning the clouds broke free for a few minutes to reveal what was perhaps one of the last dances of the aurora for this season.  A mild geomagnetic storm had been brewing across much of the northern hemisphere for the last 48hrs and had triggered some spectacular northern lights across much of Alaska and northern Europe/Russia.  Unfortunately for us the last few nights had been cloudy.

There are only a few short weeks left before the season of the aurora gives way to the shine of the midnight sun.  I'm hoping for at least one more grand finale before then.

Good night!
