Night sky watcher Travis Costello took this aurora photo in northern Manitoba, Canada, on July 15, 2012. He writes: "I am working on a project in Northern Manitoba, Canada about 40 km west of … Island Lake. I am the inspector on a temporary ice road bridge being built for the next winter season. I have been treated with 2 X flares in as many weeks.... I have always wanted to capture northern lights on my camera and it seems this year my stars were aligned to do so…. It makes it very worthwhile to leave home and my friends for weeks at a time."
