Aurora Borealis over Grand Lake

It's not often that conditions are right for viewing the Aurora Borealis from downtown Halifax, but anyone outside on the evening of October 10 won the lottery and got to see an active light show right overhead.

I unfortunately only made it out to Grand Lake a bit after the height of the activity ended, but still managed to get some nice images looking out over the lake.

The red colour from earlier in the evening (and which returned after I made it back home) was mostly (but not entirely) gone, but there was still a lot of green present, and made the trip worthwhile.
