23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Night Sky Aurora
This scene is a reminder to turn around sometimes. I was photographing the Milky Way and got some great shots. I turned around to see this amazing view of the tail of the Milky Way mixed with an Aurora. We often get tunnel vision and dont remember to look what's around us. This was a once in a lifetime shot.
