Aurora — May 11, 2024

The sec­ond night[1]First night is here. of the show was a bit tamer, and tem­pered by smoke in the air that ampli­fied all the ground lights. Still, it was a good night. I spent a cou­ple hours snap­ping pho­tos with my friend Kevin.

The smoke turned the cres­cent moon red­dish-orange, too.

Time­lapse. See if you can tell when the light was strong enough that I could see it reflect­ing off my hi-vis vest.

I was out from about 10:30pm till about half past mid­night. It was anoth­er good night.

Inter­est­ed in prints of my pho­tos? Let me know, and we can work some­thing out.
