Battling Forces
When driving home my wife noticed this odd looking cloud. The moon had started shining and lit it from behind making it glow in the dark night.
Out of the car I went. To my pleasure the Aurora showed up again when I started shooting. It was like the Aurora was sword fencing with that cloud.
Actually the where not even near each other. The cloud was likely at an altitude of around 1-2km while the Aurora was 80-200km higher up in the air.
Exif:
Shutter Speed: 20 sec
Aperture: f3.5
ISO: 800
Focal length: 10mm on a 1.6 Crop Canon 30D

If I did not know how good a photographer you are, I would have thought this was photoshopped. So incredibly, heavenly beautiful it is.
You left me in awe, as usual.
