 When the moment is right, I sneek out of the house in late evenings. I get back 1-2 hours later. I tend to goto the same place to enjoy what I like to do. This is the Straumur Art center close to my home. My goto location for Aurora. But my wife calls it The Mistress for some reason.

Congratulations, stunning photography of the Aurora Borealis in its entirety, from the sky to a water reflection. The reflection in the calm water is beautiful. My top pick for this challenge.
