22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Stargazing under the Big Dipper and aurora’s

“For the Love of Stars and Aurora’s” My daughters were enjoying watching the aurora’s light up the sky slightly, while mesmerized by all the stars on the roof of my jeep. It reminded me of the fragility of us as humans compared to the stars and the big open sky we live under. The “Big Dipper” in the background was just the ultimate shot!
