Front row seat for the aurora show

















Here is another image from the northern lights display that I saw over Lake Vermilion in the early morning hours of August 27th.  This was before the clouds had moved out and before the lights were really good.  The aurora color here was actually incredibly faint but shooting a 30 second exposure at ISO 6400 really brought the colors out.  This is a self-portrait of me standing on the fishing pier at Lake Vermilion State Park looking in the direction of the town of Ely.  The orange-colored light is actually the city glow from Ely reflecting off the bottom of the clouds.
