Riding the Magnetic Storm

For my flight to Chicago, I made an exception and left my camera at home, because I did not think the full moon would allow me to shoot anything worthwhile. That was definitely a mistake...

 

During the return flight, we witnessed some strong Aurora activity over the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay in Labrador, Canada. Without a good camera, my only option was to handhold my smartphone to capture the scene. The result is far from perfect, but still way better than expected.
