Little Church on the Prairie 1.0

St. John's Lutheran Church, Arena, North Dakota.

 

After finding this location, I thought I might try Milky Way photos here. When I came back after sunset, I found out that there was still one mercury light working in this ghost town. That eliminated any Milky Way photos, so I thought I might try star trail photos. After setting up the camera and making sure it was cycling properly, I set the timer on my cell phone. During the wait I slept and wondered how I was going to deal with the greenish cast from the mercury light. After the star trail photos were finished this aurora had started. Over the next 2 hours it got brighter and became more active. Eventually it lit up the landscape like a full moon and gave a greenish cast to everything thereby solving my problem.

 

I would like to give heartfelt thanks to everyone for your support, views, faves and comments !!

 

Wishing everyone a good week !
