Last night I drive down to Nimisila, which is not too far from me, in the hopes that I would get a glimpse of the Northern Lights. I went on my own and didn't take a tripod with me so the image below is handheld and from the inside of my car. I stayed for maybe 1/2 hour, and as you can see a Great Blue Heron kept me company.
I'm so happy to say that I finally got to see a little bit of the Norther Lights where I live! You can see the pinks and green from the sky as it reflects on the water. The stars were also quite beautiful!
As dark as it was, you can still see the light pollution in the image.
