The northern lights

Fourth try’s the charm.

It helped that it was a wildly-rare calm night. When it’s windy I have to hug the tripod to keep it from blowing over. This would work dandy if it weren’t for the fact that my body temperature drops to violent-shiver-level quickly when I stand still hugging a tripod in the wind for anything more then 10-15 seconds.

    Saved this as my work laptop desktop picture! What are the spots of orange light on the water/ice? Always grateful for you sharing pictures of your life up there. Thanks!

      Sounds good!
      They’re pieces of ice. The light from the school (on 24/7) has an orange color, and a tiny bit of it reflects off of pieces of ice.
