I was cursing the foreground willows when I shot this but the green grass and trees of the riparian area serve as a nice counterpoint for the industrialized side of the river
After midnight with a light Aurelia Borealis, we came late in the evening and saw stronger lights earlier but then we were in the car.

Hi and thanks, actually we are almost at 70 th degrees here. I don't live here, we came yesterday, but I think it is quite common at this latitude. We saw it for several hours, but we were in a car and when we had reached our place and had some food it was almost midnight and then it stopped, but I got a couple of images. I have published one more today. My home is at 60th latitude and there these displays are very rare.
For some reason this image shifted a bit to the + magenta side when I posted it - this will probably be the last of the still evening time exposures for a while - big storm approaching the west coast this afternoon and the moon is getting fuller washing out the lush dark blue night time skies

Another very nice shot. BTW, about a week ago you posted some long exposure night shots that inspired to go out and do the same. I notice several other people started posting night shots after that also. I wonder if it was for the same reason?

I wish the manufacturers of outdoor lighting would get together and produce products with identical color temperature - it would make color balance a lot easier instead of trying to balance whites for each type if light!!

Gorgeous shot, though I may have preferred it with the bottom cropped more.
