This is a photo I captured of the Northern Lights from my backyard in Michigan, United States.
The Northern Lights is an incredible phenomenon to witness. I cannot put it into words how astonishing it was to experience this.
To the naked eye, the Northern Lights actually look grey. (At least, that's how they looked to me from where I was viewing them.)
It's crazy to see all the colors the camera could pick up that my eye could not.
Even just seeing this in-person in grey was an incredible phenomenon. I hope everyone gets the opportunity at least once.

She uses photography as both a hobby and an outlet to understand the world around her.
