Southern Glow
The recent magnetic storm was strong enough to have lights showing strongly in the southern skies.
Skyrays
A strong burst of aurora spread rays down the western sky, so bright that I wondered if I might see my shadow.
Night Glow
Light pollution from a nearby city colors the clouds with the sodium light, as stars shine through the gaps.
strike
Lightning pulses from the clouds of a major storm which hit the Denver airport this summer. The cars in the foreground aren’t even getting wet.
The Star is Attacking
This is one of many spectacular moments in the northern lights display caused by a G5 geomagnetic storm several weeks ago.
Light Show
Northern lights are always worth losing sleep over!
Whisp
The clouds moving through the night sky add an extra layer to this landscape.
Interstellar Glow
I have always enjoyed taking star pictures, and had a wonderfully clear night in Badlands National Park. This is the best view of the interstellar gas clouds I have managed yet.
Twilight Overlook
This is a view from a few weeks ago on top of Ely’s Peak MN, looking East after sunset. This location becomes packed some times of year because of the large area that it overlooks, but also offers an old rail tunnel under the cliff, and access to some of the other hiking trails in the area.
Summer Visitor
This photo is from this summer during the evening visibility of comet NEOWISE. The comet is a long period comet that had not been previously recorded, and provided a surprisingly good show for several weeks.
