This shot of the aurora over Chittenden Reservoir was worth the effort it took to capture. I waded waist-deep through the water to reach this rock, where a heart-shaped puddle mirrored the colors of the sky. In the distance, you can spot me standing by the shore, dwarfed by the vastness of the landscape and the soft glow of the northern lights. The pink and purple pillars of light rose gently over the mountains, reflected perfectly in the calm waters, creating a scene of quiet awe.
