Last night over the Goldstream Valley, Fairbanks. Not super bright, but one of the more colorful displays I've seen.

Not too bad as aurora displays go - I find the interplay with tropospheric clouds quite interesting.

If you wave a florescent tube under powerlines, the tube will light up. A bit of long exposure photography and you can create the illusion of your own Northern Lights. Images by Russian photographer NeverSmile.

Aurora corona developing overhead in the Goldstream Valley, Fairbanks, Alaska. A corona forms when the aurora is nearly directly overhead and the parallel curtains appear to converge toward a single point, a perspective effect, like looking up at tall buildings from the base. One of the more disorienting and beautiful things you can witness in an Alaska winter sky.

Fairly weak aurora display but it'll do. Couple of frames from just before midnight.

Some nights, the aurora doesn’t just glow. It takes over the entire northern sky.
On very active evenings, the boreal forest feels small. The trees become silhouettes under something vast and constantly moving.
That’s why I’ve always liked this image. It lives in my “Forest” gallery, where interior Alaska trees meet the big sky.

Green below. Red above.
During stronger geomagnetic activity, oxygen high in the atmosphere can produce faint red light above the more common green bands.

When aurora turns red like this, you’re looking at oxygen glowing more than 120 miles above Earth. During the geomagnetic storm on November 11, the high-altitude reds were the strongest I’ve ever seen. These upper-atmosphere emissions occur far above the more common green bands, and they require particularly energetic solar activity to become visible.
I wrote a deeper explanation of what causes the different auroral colors here: lwpetersen.com/science-and-nat…

It took me a while to put out this reel - number 2 in my "Why This Photo Works" series. But finally posted it.
I showcase how I use 4 composition techniques to make this scene vast and grand, but yet draw your eyes to the right places.
Would appreciate a like and a follow if this kind of tips help.

Question: I want more (fiber)arts and beauty in my timeline as a counterweight to all the sad and bad stuff. Currently I follow quite a few hashtags, but not enough. Any recommendations for more?

I've started a new series — "Why This Photo Works" — of short feels over on Instagram where I break down my composition and editing choices into bite-sized nuggets.
Hope it inspires you with ideas to try out for your future shots.
The first pic is a photography I shot of the northern lights near Tromsø, Norway.
