Aurora

Leonardo Papära, Italy

Nikon D800, 14-24mm f/2.8, 30 secs, f/10, ISO100

N-Photo says: The aurora is a special phenomenon that has long inspired a sense of wonder in all who see it – with peoples of the past believing the lights to be spirits, the shields of Valkyries or a sign of plentiful fishing to come, among other folklore tales. Leonardo’s shot is made particularly striking by its stunning setting, with the colours of the lights reflecting in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, and in the snow in the foreground.
