Picket Fence
Temperance River Aurora on 7/22/2022 at 11:31pm
You roll the dice when trying to shoot the aurora. I've made more than one 7-hour round trip only to get skunked. There's never a guarantee, and no matter how much you prepare, sometimes you end up with snake eyes.
On this night, the trip paid off. After walking 10 minutes along the Superior Hiking Trail, I came out at the head of the Temperance River Gorge. The aurora was just starting up.
The aurora put on a decent show, displaying a picket fence structure along with the more typical pillars. The Milky Way in the top right ... along with the Andromeda Galaxy ... more than made up for the mosquitoes that swarmed me while taking this shot.
