Not often I manage to take an image that I get as excited about as this one. Stopped on the way to work after shooting some evening aurora activity when I saw how nicely the big grain elevator was lit up. Had gotten a few shots and was pretty happy, then I thought that the only way to make it better would be for one of those nice livestock trucks tricked out with lights to roll past. A few minutes later I heard some semis jake braking for the 4-way stop about 1/4 mile west, and was happy that it was exactly what I needed. This is the resulting image...
I'm finding that night and low-light photography is a ridiculous amount of fun...

Clouds were definitely trying to hide the action from us, but didn't succeed until a bit later in the evening.
Will take what I can get....gives me a reason to go back. :D

Two aircraft (light trails at right) have a great view of all the auroral weirdness going on in this view from near Tigerton, WI back on September 1, 2016. One of the most impressive displays I've seen here in Wisconsin.

The Riverton/Gimli area of Manitoba is sometimes referred to as "New Iceland" due to the history of the area, which saw a large migration of Icelanders back in the late-1800's. Reminders of that heritage are everywhere, including many Iceland national flags alongside Canada's; as well as the unique hybrid seen here.

Recently refitted with 'Scimitar' blended winglets.
Named: "Dyngjufjoll".
This aircraft was delivered to American Airlines as N609AA in Jul-96. It was sold to Wilmington Trust Company in Jun-09 and leased back to American.
The aircraft was fitted with blended winglets in May-07 and continued in service until American retired it in Nov-15 and returned it to the lessor. It was stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA.
In May-16 it was sold to Airco ehf (Iceland) and leased to Icelandair as TF-ISS two days later. The standard winglets were replaced with the new 'Scimitar' version in Feb-17.
The aircraft was ferried to Roswell, NM, USA in Oct-20 and returned to the lessor. It was stored at Roswell until it returned to Keflavik in Apr-21. It never returned to service and was broken up at Keflavik later the same year.
Note: The 'Scimitar' winglets are not the same as the 'Split Scimitar' winglets fitted on the Boeing 737NG. These don't have the lower 'split' part.
A bright moon rises in the east as aurora dances over a flax field. The competing tones here were really a pain to get looking "right" but this seems to work out. A shot like this is near-impossible to get at lower latitudes as the aurora usually doesn't get as far south, and rarely gets this bright.

A great substorm sets the sky on fire...while the still waters of Mill Pond reflect the Big Dipper very clearly. In fact, looking at the reflection closely, you can even see the double star (Alcor and Mizar) at the bend in the handle!

Wing, winglet and two engine nacelles pass across a hazy, pale expanse of desert terrain seen from cruising altitude. The flat light and muted tones keep the frame quiet, with the wing edge cutting diagonally through the view.
