📸 After driving home on an amazing night in May I decided to pop over to the beach at 3am ~just in case~ not expecting to see any aurora at all since I'm in the city and all but no, right there in front of me was several more hours of beauty thru dawn flic.kr/s/aHBqjBBBvU #photography #fotografia

With the skyline of highrises along the Lake Michigan shore of Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood brightly showing at the bottom left, bold streaks of wavy green auroras dance above the horizon over the rest of the frame, gradually fading to dark toward the top

Looking out over Lake Michigan with Chicago's light pollution at my back it didn't matter whatsoever - bright green waves and purple spikes of aurora shining bright enough to reflect off the calm waters, entirely filling the majority of the frame, darkening at the edges into a natural vignette

Looking straight up into an aurora-filled night sky, bold and deep purples stretching overhead from one end of the frame to the other, like arms of an angel reaching out to hold you. Scattered bits of red are seen around the purple, especially at center

Green waves, bright purple, and darker purple spikes of aurora reflect on a very calm Lake Michigan some time around 4:30 in the morning, with the very very first orange hint of morning light on the horizon just starting to become visible. A short pier on the left extends toward the horizon.

📸 A week ago I chased auroras and failed but back in May things worked out beyond my wildest dreams. Never did I ever think I would shoot lightning and aurora at the same time, and I'll remember that countryside night for the rest of my life flic.kr/s/aHBqjByKbU #photography #fotografia

Bright green auroras extending straight upwards above thunderstorm clouds fade into purples the higher you look, dead center of the frame shows a cloud producing lightning above the bottom third of the frame which is darkened by the night

A darkened foreground sits below a yellow-white lightning bolt from the center of the frame jutting to the left, itself below an otherwise mostly cloud-darkened night sky with a narrow slit just above showing off the purple hues of ongoing auroras

Scattered puffy clouds across the bottom half of the frame barely cover fingers of bright green aurora tilted just so to the right as they extend upwards

A cloud-free nighttime sky in the countryside, shown off by farm buildings in the distance at the bottom left and a dirt road disappearing into the horizon, are dominated by fingers of bright green aurora extending from center to top-right of the frame

📸Can I interest you in some lightning? It's been dry in Chicago lately but it was quite an action-packed spring & early summer around here. This batch of photos is from May when I sat on the beach and watched a rather active storm roll out into the lake flic.kr/s/aHBqjBBAjQ #photography #fotografia

A thunderstorm illuminates the night sky over Lake Michigan. The cloud takes up the middle third of the frame, a bit of white light emanating from a darker, bubbling mass. The top third is a clear midnight blue sky, the bottom third just barely shows a reflection of the light from the cloud

A thunderstorm illuminates the night sky over Lake Michigan. The storm now fills the entire middle third of the frame, with hints of bolts visible between the layers of horizontal clouds in front of the main thunderhead. Said thunderhead is lit up so bright and white it looks like daytime puffy white clouds were dropped into this night scene. The midnight blue sky above has now turned more of a blue hour color from the continuous lightning, and the bottom third lake reflection is much more vivid.

A thunderstorm illuminates the night sky over Lake Michigan. Similar to the last image though between the middle third of clouds and bottom third of lake some clear skies are emerging, themselves colored orange due to how far away the lightning is.

A thunderstorm illuminates the night sky over Lake Michigan. It's departing the frame from left to right, midnight blue and darkness once again taking over the top third and left half of the frame. Bolts of lightning set against an orange sky reach backwards from right to left and toward the darkness. The reflections off the now calming lake appear weaker as the storm comes to an end.

📸 Whoops I was quiet for a bit. Let's get back into sharing all the photos with some dreamy looking flowers from the Lincoln Park Conservatory this past spring flic.kr/s/aHBqjBBADQ #photography #fotografia

Deep blue flowers set against an even deeper green dark background of leaves from one end of the frame to the other help them stand out quite nicely

Branch-like thin purple-to-purple-white flowers extend from left to right across the frame, a pink stem in the middle, in front of some long light green leaves

Roses with petals of a dark purple and interiors of white make little circles out of themselves, set against a blurred background of green leaves and pink flowers

A single bright yellow flower sits atop deep green leaves, sharply focused against darker green blurred leaves in the background
