Northern Lights, Home Lake. November 11, 2025.

The Northern Lights over southern Iowa were the brightest I have ever seen.  A long row of cars showed up at the lake as people came to watch.  The lights filled so much of the sky that I used a 15mm lens that has a 180 degree diagonal angle of view to take most of it in.
