AURORA SPECTACULAR

A canopy of evergreens rises into a breathtaking sky illuminated by a rare, electric magenta aurora. The treetops form a dark, textured silhouette against the vibrant glow, while faint stars shimmer through the color-washed night. The scene blends serenity and intensity, capturing a fleeting moment when the forest and the cosmos meet in a vivid, otherworldly display. No filter, seen with naked eye and it was this bright in Midcoast Maine
