Mono Aurora - a photo on Flickriver

Mono Aurora

            A wondrous sky! As the time crept past midnight, I was nearing complete exhaustion from a long, long day. I left the South Tufa, which another car can be seen doing here, and wandered up to a higher vantage point to try to get different views than I had been capturing over the last few hours and to set up a time lapse camera so I could keep shooting even after I passed out. For a moment the aurora seemed to line up perfectly with the boundaries of Mono Lake I could see, with streaks reaching high up into the sky. The camera captured incredible color, while to the naked eye it was just pale glow and shapes in the sky. The color was virtually imperceptible. I’m actually subtracting saturation here quite a bit. No distinct greens could be seen here, but green on the horizon mixed with the reds to make yellowish colors. The whole lake was reflecting the hues of the sky. I never imagined I’d see such a spectacle here.
