Images of the Aurora over the Elbow River
When the Northern Lights brightly lit up the sky on May 8th, I went out to a favourite spot along the Elbow River on the edge of Redwood Meadows. The river there is dotted with sets of rocks near the shore which provide interesting elements and break up the reflection in an attractive way. The landscape is beautiful and supported the main show in the sky above well. The Aurora streamed across the sky from the northern horizon to well past the zenith. The image below was taken with the camera pointing almost straight up.

I was in Canmore that night and was able to see and photograph them. They were amazing. I haven’t seen the aurora since I was a kid growing up in Minnesota.

These are spectacular! Even I managed to shoot them from my balcony in Edmonton, they were so bright, though hanging over the balcony to shoot straight up was a challenge.Your shots show how brilliant and huge they were . Really like the setting.

Thank you Jane. I’m very happy you were able to enjoy them as well. It was a great show that night.
