Northern Lights @Lake Minnewanka, Banff National Park, Alberta – Canada
One of my biggest wishes for my time in Canada was to be lucky to see the Aurora Borealis, but never thought that it will be possible to witness them around here, rather further north. Thanks again to my friends Kat and Dominik to call me and suggest to drive out to Lake Minnewanka last Thursday’s night!
I am so stoked! 
I was so curious which part of the show you can actually see with the naked eye, and what will only be captured by the camera’s long exposure time. And I thought that I might not be able to capture anything with my good old EOS 350D, not having brought my tripod from Germany – and neither a remote. So 30 seconds exposure time was the maximum that I could do, the camera sitting on my van 
and how amazed was I to see, that I could actually capture it! Kinda blurry and at weird angles, but yeah!
With the naked eye, one could see all the green lights, the vertical stripes, and even a bit of the red and purple glow – so amazing. I was standing there with tears in my eyes, it was just marvelous. I hope I will see them again up here!
