Northern Lights!! [View all]
I was all ready for bed last night and took one last step out onto our deck to check the weather before turning in. I was amazed to see the northern lights out so bright, they almost made the street lights look dim. There are too many trees, wires, other houses, etc., to get good shots here, so I got dressed real quick, got my gear and headed out to Point Woronzof about a mile from here (along with half of Anchorage, apparently) to get some shots. I had a little problem with ambient light as people kept coming and going in the parking lot with their headlights on (grr), but I'm still pretty pleased with these.

Note the airplane taking off from the airport which is really close to this spot.

I could have wished that people's headlights didn't keep lighting up this tree during my long exposures, but I actually kind of like this one.
