This photo was featured by the Picasa team, so I guess I'll explain it a little. I'm in Andenes preparing for a sounding rocket experiment (part of my Ph.D. work), and went out last night with my camera hoping to catch some aurora. There was a little, but nothing really unusual. I figured it would be a good chance to at least figure out how to set the camera to get good shots. After a little while, the aurora started to brighten, and then almost instantaneously broke out into a huge storm. The photo doesn't show the red light as well, but there was a good mix of color, and a ring formed, expanded, swept across the sky and danced all around me. The storm only lasted about two minutes, and I was very fortunate to have been there to witness this show. I did get some other photos, so I'll try to put a few more up when I get a chance. I'll have some more too when I get up to Svalbard for the launch. Thanks, everyone, for the comments!
Welcome to my virtual world - http://picasaweb.google.com/mrozenbaum. It is safer than the real world, and, most of the time, much warmer, even in winter. These pictures do not lie. In most cases, they try to reflect the beauty of the world. Some pictures may be provocative, may remind you about inevitable facts of life, even about Dr. Freud but they should not be boring.By the way, this is Inca Tern. I think it looks like Baron Munchausen or Hercule Poirot.http://www.naturepicoftheday.com/archive/2011-11-17http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/20/face-of-the-day-142/leticialets.tumblr.com/
