[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
it was a night like no other.

I´ve been to the wasserkuppe mountain, the highest one of the low mountain range Rhoen with 950 m.

A friend told me about the high polar light activity.
So I arrived at 22:30 at the hilltop.

In the distance I saw a shimmering light.
It seems to be grey and there was no moon so it has to be completely dark.

All of a sudden, a red glow appears and increases to a bright cloud of light.

It was so great. So breathtaking.

Enjoy this moment with me.

Hello Jeurgen

A remarkable celestial pheneomenon...it must have been a fascinating experience seeing it for the first time..reading the narrative almost reminded me of some alien activity from X-Files..interesting capture and well presented..what you could have done is left the shutter open..the stars could worked a pattern against the glow of white light..

Overall a perfect TE package

Seasons Greetings :)

Cheers
Sayeed
