Captured this aurora display in the early hours after waiting out a bright moon in western Colorado. Around 1:30 AM late Sunday night (Monday technically), the sky finally revealed faint vertical pillars in purples and pinks, reflecting off a still body of water below. No wind, no noise—just a surreal and peaceful moment under a starlit sky. It wasn't as spectacular as the event from last year but still pretty nice to witness and photograph. One of those nights that makes you pause and appreciate the quiet beauty of nature.

Jung, thank you, much appreciated! I really like the magenta and red auroras that I've seen this far south. Usually they seem to be that green color especially way up north.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around this kind of color and event. I have not witnessed it and it just captivates me, these are truly amazing and so beautiful, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Karl, colorful auroras like these are like watching the universe dip into a box of crayons. Hope you get to witness it firsthand someday and hope the aurora gods schedule a show near you soon — and highly recommend you get out to photograph it if so! 😄
