Absolutely stunning! Not something we see down in the states very often. And with the orange glow on the clouds never the less. Congrats. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: March 6, 2011 Comments: 4781

I'm SO GLAD I clicked on the smaller version that was featured on Wunderground; I saw it earlier, but thought it was just a color-enhanced thunderstorm photo. This entire series is wonderful! That you were blessed to see this from Iowa makes it all the more remarkable, though such an aurora borealis anywhere is rare and exquisite. Your photos are wonderful!!!

I'm a weather fanatic. During the spring and summer months you can find me with my camera, chasing midwestern storms on my days off from work. Most of my photography is taken in rural northern Iowa.
