Aurora Borealis over Jasper Lake, Alberta

Another shot from the overnight Friday/Saturday to Jasper and back to Edmonton.  I took this shot a little before midnight, while the half moon was still fairly high in the sky, so the mountains were illuminated and the aurora a bit less prominent.

It was after sunset but there was still a lot of glow in the sky and a half moon, so it was pretty neat to see the aurora streaking behind the clouds.

I took this shot a little after midnight.  That's Jasper Lake in the foreground, looking pretty well due north.  After the moon set, the display was much more stunning - as per yesterday's shot.  I'll keep posting more for the next few days.
