Green Glow

The skies are greener in Alaska.

A Little Snow

The snow on the spruce boughs helps accentuate the tree as the aurora brings its beauty to the scene.

A Night Under the Stars

Even during a mild aurora show I get excited. I know God has placed each one of those stars there for a reason. I don't have to know the reason to know Him.

Movie Stars

The aurora gives a great backdrop while the trees look like they are stars in a movie poster.

The Road to Chicken Alaska

Blessings were upon me this night. First, I got to travel to Chicken, AK. Second, it was the only place from Palmer that had clear skies. Third, I was able to catch the tail end of a very nice auroral display caused by a Kp5 geomagnetic solar storm.

River, Mountain, Cloud and Aurora

Four basic element make this photograph so great.

Eerie Green Glow

The night had all the potential to be an epic night shooting the aurora. It started out very good but quickly fizzled to a green glow. I try to make the best of what I have been given and on my very last shot of the night i was given this scene.

Aurora Trails

I've been wanting to try this for awhile now and had the chance in January. The images collected to do this short star trail photo was taken for a short 10 minutes. I planned on 30 minutes worth of exposures but the aurora started getting active so I had to start moving and getting new compositions.
