2015 August 23 ~ The Aurora Borealis

******************************************************************************

Photographed at Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada

(275 km by road north of Toronto)

* Temperature 12 degrees C.

 

While I was out for a night of astrophotography, I looked to the north a little after 03.00 in the morning and saw a glow along the horizon. Thinking that it was probably an aurora that had come up, I put a camera on the tripod and grabbed this short, grainy view before it faded from view.
