oh no...not another aurora shot?! This one is however a little bit abstract...It`s probably not everyones cup of tea..

After a powerful display of the aurora i have from time to time seen the entire sky turn into a green carpet. A pulsating carpet... I kept staring up seeing how the whole sky was moving. It`s hard to describe, i guess its one of those things you have to see with your own eyes to really know what it is i`m talking about.

Happy shooting folks!

Fantastic abstract. Love the quality of the lines and textures in the image. All the stars are an added bonus. Very nice.

Beautiful...artistic. Without a description, one wouldn't believe that this could be a product of our natural world.
I absolutely love it!

Very original. Soft swipes of light and intricate details of stars. If only William Shatners version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was playing ...
Great framing! I see a chromosome.

Awesome shot. Almost looks like something from the Hubble space telescope. I also like how you framed the scene.

What a unique abstract. This image really takes on a life of its own. Looking at this on my laptop the stars look unnaturally blue. Maybe this has something to do with the aurora? Great work overall!

This is a stellar abstract ( no pun intended), the AB swaths of light are just in the right places and the stars..............man those stars!

Great!

Very, very cool. I've seen the sky pulsing with green like this, years ago in a place far away. There is magic in the northern sky.
