Last Thursday, the 21st, I took my family up to our lake house in northern WI. My youngest brother lives in VA and has never seen the northern lights. We drove up at night, and there was a nice display going. He was thrilled, but the real show was down on the dock a little later. We watched the lights for about an hour before they faded. This was the only decent shot I got as I had to balance the camera on a bunched-up jacket.

This is a 30 second exposure with a Nikon D100 and Nikon 17-35mm lens wide open.

Wow, very beautiful Jeff, and you've captured the reflections. I have never seen the northern lights too, thanks a lot for sharing the image.

Jeff,
Thursday night around 1am I was near Michigamme, Michigan and saw the display. They were absolutely wonderful. Great picture!
