About this work

Looking straight up into the divergence point of a magenta coronal Aurora Borealis over Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. The aurora was the result of a G5 geomagnetic storm. Oddly enough, this aurora was very weak to the north, and seemed to originate from a point almost right overhead and due south. It was like standing inside a huge magenta dome or force field.
