Season of colors

This colorful panorama at Silver Lake in California delights us by displaying many of the colors one can find in the night. Above the trees to the left, an aurora (quite rare for these latitudes) timidly declares its space in the panorama with otherwise unusual pinkish colors. Green airglow spreads across the entire sky, while the Milky Way does a peek-a-boo above Thunder Mountain showing us its classic colors over the river of stars. Near the end to the right, the light pollution, possibly from the city of Sonora, adds one last brush of color to the view. Captured during a delirious road exploration night, a long and wet California winter still had the lake partially covered in snow.
