Oh, what a night!

So often when there’s a lot of hype about a solar storm it doesn’t come to fruition—understandably when there are so many variables—but that wasn’t the case on March 23rd!

Our evening began with a gorgeous sunset and to the west, a sliver of the moon and Venus. Even before darkness had fallen you could tell the night was going to be magical, but once it had, the sky exploded with northern lights covering the sky in every direction.

I’ve never photographed the rarer form, corona, before and if you were away from city lights and had allowed your eyes to adjust to the darkness, the show was stunning.

My eyes could see greens, reds, and pinks as well as patches of white racing through the overhead coronas.

At it’s peak, the coyotes and a nearby Great Horned Owl joined in with a vocal serenade. Magical. Simply magical.

  1. I’m so happy for you to have been able to photograph such beautiful colors and images, for those of us that were sound asleep in our beds. That’s a very big plus for you.
