Intense airglow adorns the sky during a one-night break between winter storms. Having hiked into this location, usually accessible by road, I dropped my pack and scouted around for a shot. I've always liked this lone stand of oaks, and though they were illuminated by overzealous outdoor lighting, they still stood as a dark contrast against the vibrantly lit thermosphere. This fantastical snowy hillside was captured in Humboldt County California.
