Phoenix Rising

I was recently in YK and finally got a chance to photograph the northern lights under a different landscape than Hay River's! An auroral storm approached Earth on Saturday and peaked around the hours of 12:30 and 3. Since YK is covered with aurora photographers (most my friends), I wanted to make sure I came away with something unique.

The lights did not disappoint!

 

I didn't even realize the phoenix shape in the aurora until someone pointed it out to me the next day.
