thanks everyone for looking and commenting--a little info for those of you who have never seen them--many times as you look at the sky there is no color visible, unless they are really bright. So it is a surprise after you push the shutter and wait for the camera to process and look at the screen and see what the camera saw that our eyes cannot!

One night last week they announced on the evening weather on TV that the northern lights might be out. As it was perfectly calm out I drove to a slough down the road hoping for some reflections-- and yes they were out! No coat needed and no bugs out yet either--that was nice
a thrill to see and shoot, no doubt. beautiful shot!

Katherine, one of the best photos I have ever seen of the Northern Lights, thank you for sharing.

Just a comment. I found exactly that to be true in Alaska. I waited up quite late and only saw what I took to be faint white clouds in the sky. Took a few shots and when I downloaded to my PC, bright green showed up. Wish I had known that at the time...I'd have taken more shots. BTW, again, your image is beautiful, Katharine.
