Aurora Borealis

One night earlier this month, I was up late, checking out social media, and on Facebook, there was a mention by Jack, who has his photoblog from Connecticut, of northern lights. I decided to go out to Lansdowne Park, where in the darkened park at the east end of the property, I was rewarded. I've seen the aurora borealis on a number of occasions, but this was incredible. Mostly vivid greens, but hints of red and orange, danced and shimmered in the night sky. I walked around the area, taking photographs as I went. The Aberdeen Pavilion is particularly photogenic in these conditions.
