Alaska Aurora Photography

Early twilight exploded with multi-colored aurora dancing across the entire sky for hours, extending equatorward as far as Mexico in one of the largest geomagnetic events in decades. In the pre-dawn hours, a unique pink tower of aurora rose above the western Chugach Mountains — unlike anything the photographer had witnessed in decades of shooting.

About This Photograph

“Great Pink Tower II”

“…Early twilight came alive with deep multi-colored aurora dancing across the entire sky. For several hours the great displays enveloped our earth, at times extending equator-wards with vast expanses of light, from Georgia, Louisiana to Mexico. The pre-dawn hours had the horizons filled with curtains and rayed structures, swaying across the starfields over the western Chugach Mountains. The unique show suddenly disappeared, becoming void of aurora, leaving behind multitudes of stars amid the blue sweet light of dawn. It seemed impossible for such a grand display to have ended so abruptly.

As the eastern starfields began vanishing by the advance of the rising sun, a subtle flicker of blue-white aurora faded in and out of view to the south, eventually stretching itself into one shaft of light standing 400 miles above Earth. From this it expanded across 6,398 foot Pioneer Peak and Twin Peaks with breathtaking brilliance and exploded into the rarest pink aurora without warning. Lasting mere seconds, the great pink aurora intensified, becoming very vibrant with massive beams, crossing the sky at immeasurable speeds. Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, the rare scene relinquished itself to its very creator, the rising sun…”
