Incredible Sky Photo!

[ithilwen]

You never know what you might see if you look up, as storm chaser and professional sky photographer Mike Hollingshead proved a few days ago when he hit a trifecta: a photo containing an aurora, thunderstorms, and one of the rarest sights in nature, red sprite lightning, all in one photo! You can savor his picture here. (You'll need to scroll about halfway down the page to see the photo.)

For more about red sprite lightning (and another look at that incredible picture), check out this Universe Today article.

That sure beats my pathetic aurora photos! Why did I go to Iceland again?
