17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Aurora Borealis at Vik Beach, Vestvågøy, Lofoten, Norway
This image was taken near midnight in subzero winter weather under an extraordinary display of Northern Lights. The light danced rapidly over the horizon with an electric quality and multitude of color. The experience was so surreal that I had to stop photographing to soak all of this in. A truly incredible natural event.
