Green aurora with red nuances over a forest lake short after sunset. Please read description.


This picture was taken with a 1923's Kodak Brownie camera. I do some collecting of old cameras and wanted to check the old Brownie out. To my surprise some faint aurora appeared after having photographed the mandatory sunset. All I had to make photos with was the old Brownie, and I did. The Brownies single lens element will not meet today's demand for sharpness, I tell you this so you know, do not expect the high standards of modern photography in this picture. Still I think there is some sort of magic in the situation combined with the errors of the old lens, thus the picture is here.
