Shooting a lot of aurora pictures, perfect reflection is something that is always on the wishlist, and with the fresh fallen snow ontop of the mountain it added just enough character to them to make them apart of the play that is this image. Image captured in Nordreisa, Northern Norway.
Not that you would see it very clearly with the naked eye, but the camera captures the effect of the light pollution coming from below the mountain making the aurora that is fading away very orange at the bottom. To me it felt like the big and small tree was reaching towards the aurora.
Early autumn and while not having fully dark sky the sun having still an impact of the sky adding more blue and purple to the aurora than usual. Getting that link between earth and space is simply a factor of luck, getting a shape quite simular to the tree in the frame was what I was hoping for and someone sent me some luck on this night and I got it.
