This isn't the Yellow Brick Road

Red Dirt Road doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Yellow Brick Road :)

The road is a nice leading line for the ground portion of the scene.

Another lovely image of the aurora from that night.

I giggle every time I see the word Chugwater. It just sounds so funny to me. 😁

Thanks so much Alan, I agrree! What's interesting to me is that the aurora was so intense it filled the ground with red too.

Ha ha, thanks Michael!

Yeah, Chugwater is quite the name. I guess they like chugging water instead of beer there?
 
But it could be even better! :)

This is a 2 shot pano from Chugwater last Tuesday night during the Epic Northern Light Show of 2026.

Thanks Oliver! As I travel I take mental notes of locations that are photogenic, this is one spot. When time was short because I had things to do with the Grandkids, I needed to find someplace within 1 to 2 hours away from my daughters house, and this was one that was on my list. It was the closest, so I stopped there to take a test shot as it was dark as I was getting there. The Northern Lights were showing, so I stayed. I am glad I did, as the timelapse I am working on is looking super cool with the windmill. As the wind picks up and dies down during the night, the windmill spins and stops throughout the night so I think that was cool to see.
