Tom Mackie – Angry Aurora, Iceland 1000 Piece Puzzle
‘Wonders of the World’ – The World’s most Beautiful Jigsaw Puzzle
ANGRY AURORA, ICELAND
Auroras of northern lights generally occur in higher latitudes where there is a large amount of solar wind activity. Only at the highest altitudes with intense solar activity does the colour red show up with green at the lower altitudes being more common.
I was leading a workshop in Iceland when an intense aurora occurred in the village where we were staying. The shapes were changing by the minute as each capture created a completely different image. As I looked at the display, I couldn’t believe the face-like image staring back at me. It would be easy to assume this is Photoshopped, but it is Mother Nature at her best.
