The Aurora Arc

The shafts of light were visible to the unaided eyes! The purple colors on the right, deep red left and neon green near the horizon stand out in the camera lens view. It was thrilling to see the lights dancing (shifting). I picked this image because if you look close the lights take the shape of a dome or arc.
