In awe Zoltan, in awe

In awe Zoltan. In awe

When this shot was taken in and around Two Hills, we in Edmonton were fighting a rain snow mix!    Zoltan – the man behind the lens – chased a solar storm, found a clearing, and was witness to an amazing show of the Northern Lights.    He is dedicated to his art-lucky for us.    This was late Sunday night May 2nd -  into the wee morning hours of Monday, May 3rd.    Many people (including Zoltan) are registered with Aurora Watch.    When there is the potential for this kind of show — email alerts are sent out.    Interested?    Check out:  http://corona-gw.phys.ualberta.ca/AuroraWatch/.

DID YOU KNOW?    Solar winds drive particles toward the Earth at about a million miles an hour.    It takes 40 hours for these particles to strike the Earth’s atmosphere.    If you would like to see more of Zoltan’s photography, instantaneously, head to his website.    His pictures are out of this world:    http://www.infocusimagery.com

SOLAR WINDS AND OUR MAGNETIC FIELD CREATE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.    BUT A GOOD OLD FASHIONED PRAIRIE WIND AND YOUR MAGNETIC PERSONALITY CAN CREATE MANY FRESH AIR PHOTOS.    GET OUT THERE — POINT AND SHOOT AND EMAIL US YOUR PICTURE … TODAY!
