Lavender Sky

A surprise display of the northern lights, as seen from the edge of Highway 548 at Quebec Bay, roughly 50 km southeast of Sault Ste. Marie, ON. I normally monitor space weather conditions so I'm able to know when there will be a chance of seeing the northern lights, but this came as a complete surprise one night when I was already out shooting. The illumination in the foreground of this photo came from the streetlights that line the highway directly behind the camera.
