The inspiration for the cover of Aurora Bay came from my own photos and memories of aurora (Northern Lights) in Alaska. This is from last night, in Seward, Alaska. The funny thing is, this isn’t what *I* saw. The camera lens captures much more than the eye can see. What I saw was a pinkish haze. Often the green is far more visible to the naked eye. I have, however, seen colors like this, standing on the top of Flattop Mtn in Anchorage, late one night, many years ago.
The mountain shown here is Mount Marathon, the same one runners race up every 4th of July.
Have you seen Aurora? Have you noticed the difference between what’s visible and what the camera captures?
