A bright moon gave some light to the landscape, and the clouds added drama.

About -35C and clear night here. and the Sun was active a few days ago - so a camera and a tripod were in the car. This is what I could capture before the sensor in the camera froze. Minolta DiMage 7, ISO 800, 4sec f1/2.8, 13 frames in the animation

Got up at 7:30 this morning and the whole southern sky was lit up. These photos are looking south with a G3 geomagnetic storm in progress. Using my old Olympus C3040 set at f1.8, ISO 400 for 16 seconds.

At -40 deg, it was the coldest night of the year so far. As I walked out the door at 5:30AM I noticed the soft glow of the Aurora as it streamed across the northern sky. With camera in hand, I walked down the dark road to a nearby lake to take these images.
