This morning at the lake is remarkably serene.

I have dozens of aurora photos from different locations, it will take a while to go through them but here is one from the beautiful night sky at Denali Lakeview Inn on Lake Otto. It was so brilliant, look how it lit up the lake! **I was on the second floor and kept hearing a man below me watching the skies and commenting to his wife "I wish we could see the Northern Lights". After about 2 hours, he gave up.....and it wasn't 30 minutes when the sky exploded! Perserverance is the key to catching the aurora!

I was standing on the balcony of our second floor hotel room as I watched the Northern Lights dance in front of me. To my left, I saw what I thought looked like a hand appear in the aurora. I turned my camera and hoped I captured what, for a split second, looked like a hand reaching up! After I got home, I was thrilled to see I did capture the hand in the frame and what appears to be an angel looking on (lower left near center). I named this image....."The Hand of God" for that was my first thought when I saw it in the aurora. It was truly an awesome night to be in Alaska and see such a beautiful sight!
