Aurora in my location is not common. This past year has been very good with the solar maximum approaching. This particular night the aurora was forecast to be strong. I set out to this location hoping it would cooperate and I would be able to get an image close to what was in my mind. Luckily, the aurora did cooperate but only for a few minutes. This was a challenging image to capture as it was on the edge of a very windy high cliff. I was trying to capture images as the clouds were rolling in. When I got home and took a look at this image I was surprised to see that the intensity of the aurora has allowed it to glow right through the clouds, illuminating them in a way which I had never expected or ever seen. It was really amazing to experience this rare event.
