13 Seconds

The “13 Seconds” Experience

Dazzling auroras erupt over the Brooks Range of Northern Alaska on April 18, 2021 at 1:03 am. These lights were so bright that I had to dial back my camera exposure time to less than 1-second each, and they were expanding so quickly that all three shots were taken within a 13-second time span. In other words, these auroras were on fire!

When the fireworks were over, and I saw the succession of these three images pop up on my screen, I felt my eyes water I was so danged super-charged. This show was extra special!
