Winter Aurora - I still remember this night from over 10 years ago in Fairbanks, Alaska. Everything was so quiet. The only sound was the sound crunching under my feet. It wasn't the best aurora, but the overall scenery definitely left an impression. #Alaska #auroraborealis #aurora #northernlights

A green aurora arcs across the night sky above a snow-covered boreal forest in Fairbanks, Alaska. The aurora forms a wide, wavy band with soft vertical streaks, glowing in shades of green with hints of pale violet at the lower edges. The tall spruce trees in the foreground are heavily blanketed in snow and reach up toward the sky, their dark shapes contrasting with the vibrant light overhead. The snow-covered ground reflects some of the ambient glow, and stars are faintly visible in the clear sky beyond the aurora.

Will never forget my first aurora - Aug 1974, fresh from Honolulu. It was sublime.
