The Sentinel - Auroras at Lake Minnewanka

Reblogged from Paul Zizka Photography | mountain landscape and adventure photographer in Banff, Alberta | Banff photography:

First of all, let me set the scene: this is what the aurora eventually ended up looking like at Minnewanka this past Monday night (Canadian Thanksgiving). This was actually taken at 2:30 AM on Tuesday morning.

Now for the unusual part:

If you get out enough you're bound to get lucky...

I haven't been this excited about a photo in a long time.

Outstanding photography. Well deserved given the effort required to get the job done. The trailer for ‘Mountains in Motion’ is outstanding as well and I wish you and Paul all the best at the upcoming Banff Mountain Film Festival.

  Thanks, Barry. I will be sure to pass on the word to Paul about his photo. And thanks again for your best wishes for the upcoming Banff Mountain Film Festival! We have already achieved our goal by getting the film into the festival and now we get to enjoy it with our home crowd.
